This past Wednesday, the Sibteens rolled up their sleeves and took on burrito-making — the wrapping was a hilarious challenge, but the tasty results were absolutely worth it! They also had a blast making slime: gooey, stretchy, squishy, and full of messy fun!

Today was full of creativity, connection, and kindness. Our Sibkids had such a meaningful day creating time capsules, drawing self‑portraits, family portraits, and making beautiful hand‑art masterpieces. We also worked through our “About Me & My Sib” worksheets which sparked thoughtful conversations.
We shared laughs, games, and brownie M&M flower treats, then took a walk to the pedestrian overpass to wave at cars and spread joy with our “Kindness is free” sign. The honks and waves back made our day!
So proud of these amazing kids and the kindness they share 💕
