Elementary
spirit kindness club
Everyone fits in here! A place for school-age children of all abilities, including children with special needs, to enjoy fun activities and meet new people. These nights are themed-based with open and non-competitive activities to choose from, for a fun night. This is where all children from all abilities learn to play, to interact, and socialize with each other. We will have an area for parents to relax, unwind and connect with other parents to get a small break (if they want). We are also looking for adults or older students to volunteer to help be role models for everyone.
