January 14th meeting and a couple of Just FYIs...

Hi Families!

This week the Sparks are learning a bit about space as part of our Exploring and Experimenting keeper.  A special thanks goes out to Rachel’s mom Laurie for helping us while Jenn R (Jewel) is on holidays. Thank you as well for the other offers to help – we’ll keep you in mind for next time!
 
A newsletter will be sent shortly providing more info on the January 25 Mommy and Me Sleepover. Please note that we are asking participants to avoid bringing air mattresses if at all possible (e.g. the mattresses that require an air pump). They take up a lot more space than foam roll-up mattresses or yoga mats (there are over 40 girls and their moms coming to sleep in the gym, so space starts to be a constraint), and they are more cumbersome to set up. Also, the girls are not allowed to bring air mattresses to Girl Guide camps for these and other reasons, so we figured it would be best to have the same rules for the mommy and me camp.  That being said, if you have health issues that require an air mattress, definitely let us know.
 
Badges – the Sparks have been working very hard on their keepers! To date we have finished Being a Spark and The World Around Me. Soon we will also finish Exploring and Experimenting and In My Community, as well as various other Challenge badges. We will hand badges out again in early February, as we are still waiting for a few to come in.

That’s all for now. See you soon!

Marigold, Hearts and Jewel
