SUMMARY:You & Me
DESCRIPTION:When we prep for our weekend family classes\, we always ask: How can we make them even more special\, more personal\, more meaningful—for families and their little ones? \nWith Mother’s Day (or we call it Parent’s Day!) around the corner\, our May 10th classes are the perfect time to add a little extra magic. During these classes\, every family will receive a Polaroid photo of parent and child—and your little one will complete it with their own artwork. A sweet keepsake to celebrate the love between you. \nThis class is extra special—so don’t forget to RSVP! \nNote: If we have to cancel due to weather\, you’ll receive a full refund. \nSee you soon!
