Kick up your heels and start the SOSI week in style. The ever popular Relative Harmony leads a good ’ol barn dance!
Participants age 12 and under may spend a quiet hour any day (Monday–Friday) making crafts. This activity is not a substitute for day care or baby-sitting (a parent or responsible child 12 or over must stay with participants). A nominal fee will be charged.
Students (age 12 and over) and parents can participate in the designing of sets for the operetta (Sunday–Wednesday). If you like painting and creating big things, this is the ticket! And it is absolutely free!
