Our Schedule For The Day

10:00-10:30 Welcome by our youth board representative Dan Herschal

10:30-11:30 Main events for the morning:

Bake and Decorate gingerbread or sugar cookies: In this breakout room you will be lead through how to bake some beautiful cookies. You'll make some homemade icing and decorate your way. Later on you'll show off your amazing creation!

Make a beautiful no stress craft: You'll create some winter garland and paper snowflakes to decorate your home with. Maybe you'll use them as a part of the set for your talent show later in the day!

Teen Chat: Led by our Youth board rep, you'll join an informal chat. Laugh a little, maybe cry a little, and enjoy time with your TS community.

Parent Chat: We will have several roundtable groups (depending on how many volunteers we have to help lead a group) for parents. Discussions will be guided but very informal. Get some great info and lean on your fellow parents in the TS community.

11:30-12:30 Lunch Break: Enjoy something delicious :)

12:30-1:30 Afternoon Finishing Session: All groups will finish up the mornings activities and discussions.

1:30-2:30 Share lovely creations from this morning and then prepare for the talent show.

2:30- 3:30 Family talent show--you can do something live, share an accomplishment you have had recently or even share a video of your talent!
