Thanksgiving Pie Party!
As the holidays approach, we as the staff and administration of The Sandy Club felt it was good to give our kids a chance for reflection and fun! So, with the wonderful help of Costco, we were able to give pie and whipped cream to all the kids and have a magician, the wonderful Lance Nielsen, come perform for the kids! Our kids also took some time to write down what they are thankful for. What a special day it was to hear the kids laugh, play, and enjoy this wonderful time of year. We hope you take time to reflect on what you are thankful for as Thanksgiving come this week.
