Use this opportunity to study about Hawaii. Take a mental trip to the tropics during our cold Kansas winter, then plan to join in on the Hawaiian Luau on the coldest of dinner nights!

Wear Red or Hearts Day - Valentine Party - February 3

Get into the spirit by dressing in your favorite red or heart covered clothes. The children will enjoy a group party planned with the cutest of treats and the sweetest of games.

PIZZA DINNER - February 17

Come enjoy a meal together with other families in the group that’s sure to be loved by all. Bring a favorite pizza or two - homemade, frozen, or pizzeria made and have fun together. A “serious” game of Pictionary may follow the meal.

HAT DAY - PAPER MAKING - March 2

Wear a hat that you’ve made or your favorite hat that’s been around and try your hand in the art of paper making. We will use newsprint and add color with bits of construction paper or flower petals to create paper for card making.

IRISH DINNER - March 16

Study Ireland during March, then share some of the culinary treats that you have discovered with the other families in the group. Whether you have green blood or not, this will be a great time for all.

INSIDE OUT DAY & POTTERY WHEEL PRESENTATION BY LARRY MATSON - April 6

CHINESE DINNER - April 20

Kids can come dressed in their comfortable pajamas and enjoy a day of games and fun!
