Thank you!

Sibshops of Utah County had a successful 2016!  We want to thank each of you for your participation and support of our program.  We couldn't do it without you--our Sibshoppers, parents, those who refer to our program and our volunteers! Special thanks to Kids On The Move and BYU's Department of Special Education without whom Sibshops of Utah County would not be possible.

Here are some of our statistics for the calendar year 2016:
This year, in the 11 sessions of Sibshops offered, we were able to work with 26 different children representing 21 different families from our community!

A reminder that we will not meet in December, but are already gearing up for Sibshops 2017!

Happy Holidays from each of us at Sibshops of Utah County.

November 2016

Welcome to November and our "Thanksgiving" themed Sibshop.
 
As our Sibshoppers trickled in, they worked on creating some crafty "Gratitude Owls".
 Paper plates, glue, scissors, feathers, leaves and other assorted materials came together to create masterpieces just like the one below!
This owl became a gratitude owl as the kids were asked to identify three things they are grateful for about their sibling with special needs.  They later shared their thoughts of gratitude with the group. So if they haven't shared them with you, take a look at the back of that owl and hopefully you will see their gratitude statements!
 There is always time for a little fun and games at our Sibshop! 
Looks like we have a little "Psychic Handshake" happening here!
This ball toss game is a lot more challenging than it looks!

 Happy Thanksgiving! All of us at Sibshops sure are grateful for each of our Sibshoppers.  We are blessed to know them, serve them and learn from them.
