Grab a pencil & some art supplies to draw and write your way to a great story! November is Family Stories Month, so we'll write about our family memories in a paper bag book. Registration required.

Please register each child SEPARATELY. 

Paper bags aren't just for lunches anymore- they can be books too! In celebration of Family Memories Month, we'll create a paper bag book filled with spots to write about special memories.  The openings of the bags make great nooks for special things, like tickets, photos, and more. Please send a list of family members' names (that they might want to use in the book) with your child to the program for spelling purposes. And participants will receive another special "brag tag" for their lanyard. 

For a list of possible book titles that we may use in the program, click here. 

If you register but later are unable to attend the event, please call 847-429-4685 to cancel as soon as possible.  This allows children on the wait list to join the event with adequate notice. We will be taking attendance at the program, and staff members reserve the right to move a registrant to the wait list if they are found to be consistently absent from programs.
