Show Us Your SuperShero

We’re hosting a SuperShero party on Thursday, October 5 from 5 to 7 PM. Come dressed as your favorite female hero or role model, or bring something that inspires you. Make your own Shero cape and mask to express what empowers you. We’ll be having lots of fun and serving snacks. All girls from K to grade 5 are invited and we hope you can join us for an evening of crafts, imagination, and celebrating Girl Power! Thank you to the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming for co-hosting this event.
