November 2009 Info

In November we are hosting a Super Sibshop as part of the Utah County Special Needs Conference. It is on the second Saturday of the month, just like always, so put November 14th on your calendar! We will NOT meet at KOTM, we will meet at Mountain View High School in Orem, UT--just a couple blocks away from where we normally are. We will meet from 8:30-1:15. Yep, you heard me right! Almost 5 hours, that's why we call it SUPER!

So, we would love to have your kids join us for Sibshop! Our regularly attending Sibshoppers are welcome to attend the Sibshop even if a parent does not attend the conference. So, if your Sibshopper plans on attending ONLY the Sibshop then please contact me directly and we will work out the details. I need that RSVP by Friday, Nov 6th.

If a parent is attending the conference, then the Sibshop is free as part of the Conference registration and there is also free respite care available.

Take a look at this link to the registration forms and let me know if you have any questions!

Invite a Parent! October 2009

We are counting our last Sibshop a great success! We were so glad to make new friends and have our parents join us for fun and friendship. Here's hoping you enjoyed it as much as we did!

September 2009




September's Sibshop included fun activities like "Do You Love Your Neighbor" and "Triangle Tag" as well as some free social play in the backyard. The kids did great coming up with fun games to play with one another as they scaled the playground slides. We also had some great small group discussions while we did the "Dear Aunt Blabby" activity. You see, kids just like yours who have siblings with special needs write to Aunt Blabby for advice. Our Sibshoppers are just the right experts to give their peers advice on how to relate with their siblings. We also undertook the enormous task of making some tie-dyed Sibshop t-shirts. We hope you are all enjoying them! Sorry about the fingerprints and the logos that were ripping this time around.
