Wednesday, February 26th- Class and Club PICTURE DAY

Parents of KG-3rd Grade,

My name is Chelsea, and I am William Hansen's mom. I am resuming Friendship Club this year at Gemini for grades K-3. The club will be held in center court at Gemini after school on Mondays for the following dates:

1/27/2025
2/10/2025
2/24/2025
3/10/2025
4/7/2025

In Friendship Club, we will do activities such as crafts, learning about emotion regulation and friendship, and acts of kindness toward others. Each year, our club also does philanthropic initiatives and this year we will be making valentines for residents of 3 area nursing homes again. The kids enjoyed this last year, and the recipients were very touched by their kindness!

Our first meeting will be on Monday, January 27th from 2:40 PM until 3:30 PM in center court.

There are limited spots available, and a wait list will be created if the club fills up.

Please use the link below to sign up your student for Friendship Club:
