Reminder the Open Gym fundraiser is Nov 10th. Please register by November 8th so we can prepare snacks. This is not a camp. It is just for fun. We will play games, do fun dancing (for those who want to), and watch a Christmas movie. Older kids are welcome too. We will use both gyms if needed to put older kids in other games like dodge ball, kick ball, basketball, etc. We will have pizza, chips, snacks and games geared towards all ages. Cost is $25/child.
