Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to start training some new elves for next year! No elves will be left sitting on a shelf … they will be busy with art, music, theatre, science and more.

Art, music, theatre and science will all be incorporated into this fun Thanksgiving workshop! Some workshop activities will be separated for different age groups. Families: Come see the parade at 2pm! Bring a sack lunch and water bottle. Dress to get messy!
Creativity and friendship unite! This program is for students who are not yet in school and those who are homeschooling. Socialize with friends while doing science, art, drama, culinary, music and dance! Class themes and activities will be centered around the interests of the participants.
Preschool families unite! Join us for dinner with your little ones and then some fun playtime for children while the adults get a moment to themselves! Parents will discuss successes and challenges of being parents of preschoolers and gain helpful resources to deal with any challenges.
Little ones ages 1-3 and a family member can join us for all kinds of artistic expression. Children and adults will participate in visual arts, dancing, music and theatre!
