This week in Friendship Class, we read "Thomas's Snowsuit" by Robert Munsch and then created our own people and designed what we would want our own snowsuit to look like.

The kids got so into it, imagining their perfect snowsuits with all the colors, patterns, and details they could dream up. It was creative, fun, and totally theirs.

We also spent a great deal of time creating with Legos, and that unstructured activity was wonderful. No instructions, no rules, just building whatever came to mind. Watching the kids explore, experiment, and create freely reminded us how valuable that kind of play really is.

Our Community Group was back at the Food Bank today prepping more apples, and once again, Phil brought everyone donuts.

Phil has been showing up for our group week after week with his kindness and generosity. This time, the Food Bank got everybody to write a thank you in a giant card for him. Our teens were so excited to tell him how much his support means.

Phil is one of the kindest people, and moments like this remind us how much community matters. Thank you, Phil, for everything you do.

Mixed Media class this week: we made air dry clay, and the teens got creative.

Watching them shape, mold, and bring their ideas to life was incredible. Some knew exactly what they wanted to make, others experimented as they went, and all of them created something uniquely theirs.

This is what art should be: hands-on, open-ended, and full of possibility.

Experiment Group this week: we made elephant toothpaste and then built things with Legos!

The elephant toothpaste experiment was a hit (nothing like a little foam explosion to get everyone excited), and then our teens channeled that energy into building with Legos.

Two totally different activities, same result: engaged, creative teens having a great time while learning.

Movement group hiked Opal Hill this week, a 2-mile trek that got everyone moving and outside.

Honestly, we're loving being able to get outside like this in the winter. Fresh air, physical challenge, and time together in nature? That's the perfect combination.

Our teens crushed it, and we're already looking forward to the next hike.

Our Community group was back at the Food Bank this week, but this time we were packaging boxes for families to pick up.

Our teens worked together to get the boxes ready, knowing that each one would go directly to a family in need. It's hands-on work that makes a real difference, and they showed up with focus and care.

This is what giving back looks like.

Valentine's Day party with Friendship Class was everything we hoped it would be!

The week before, we all made Valentine's Day boxes, and the kids were so excited. This week, they stuffed the boxes with valentines, frosted and decorated cookies, and celebrated together.

One of their friends wrote a book and read it to the group about adventure and friendship. Then we all read our valentines and just shared the love.

Watching the kids light up as they opened their valentines, enjoyed the cookies, and listened to their friend's story reminded us what this class is all about. Connection. Friendship. Celebrating each other.

This is the kind of day that sticks with you.

We threw a Mardi Gras party last week, and it was a blast!

We talked about what Fat Tuesday is and how it's a huge party with friends. Then we enjoyed a king's cake, and one of the teens found the baby, which they all thought was hilarious.

We also tried some authentic food: jambalaya, gumbo, deviled eggs, fried chicken, and more. Our teens dove in, tried new flavors, and experienced a little piece of New Orleans culture right here in Colorado.

Celebrations like this are about more than just the food and fun. They're about learning, experiencing new things together, and building memories as a community.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

This week on the campaign, things got REAL.

The townspeople send Midnight to find the group at the fortress. She joins just in time.

Upstairs, they encounter a beautiful elf woman who becomes enraged, transforming into a banshee and screeching at them to get out. Grok and James freeze in fear while everyone prepares for battle.

The banshee attacks Grok. Midnight conjures an ice knife that pierces her. Rex attacks with his mace, Jax with his crossbow. Aelwyn attempts to attack but trips on a pebble and takes one damage. The banshee lets out a blood-curdling screech and puts almost everyone in death saves.

Rex heals Aelwyn. Jax rolls a nat 20 and is back. James attacks with his reaper. Midnight attacks with her sickle. Aelwyn redeems herself by shooting her longbow and hitting the banshee.

The battle continues. Grok gets scared to death by the banshee and is now dead dead. Jax attacks with his great sword and decapitates her, finishing the quest and making the fortress safe!

James and Hawk immediately rob Grok's body instead of mourning. The group splits 250 gold between the 6 of them. James, Hawk, and Jax all acquire magic spells after the quest.

Gerald Grant arrives and joins the team at the quest board. The tallest of the group, the most weapon-heavy, strong. This will work well.

Aelwyn chooses the Loggers Camp Quest. Vincent the Ox helps pull supplies. They encounter a wild angry boar that squeals and runs off into the woods.

Gerald navigates but leads them two miles in the wrong direction before getting back on track. They camp in the woods, travel the next day, and reach the loggers camp.

Campaign continues next week.

RIP Grok. The drama. The chaos. The new beginnings. This is D&D at its finest.

Swim Class was at OM Pool this week, and our group had a blast.

Who doesn't love to go swimming? Watching our teens enjoy the water, move their bodies, and just have fun together reminded us why activities like this matter.

Sometimes the best moments are the simple ones.

Pickleball... pickleball... and more pickleball!

This week we're sharing a time-lapse of our Movement Class in action. Watch our teens play, improve, and have an absolute blast on the court.

This is what movement should look like.
