Do You Need Childcare for the Candlelight Tour?
The children of GPCP and the Grant Park community are invited to join storytellers and educators on a magical adventure through an Enchanted Forest where plots of our favorite songs invite us into worlds of imagination and awe. This special, once-a-year event, "Night of Stories," is for young children and families and aims to build connection and community through oral storytelling, while harnessing the magic of the season through the eyes of childhood. It will take place on December 13th from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and December 14th from 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The event is open to GPCP families and the GP community. RSVP for your child(ren) and submit fees no later than Thursday, December 11th. Cash and check payments can be dropped off at the school between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Currently enrolled families will be invoiced through Brightwheel upon signing up.
The cost is $50 per child for non-GPCP and GPCP families, which includes dinner and snacks.
