Four for Fun … and Learning!
The team at Grace & Grit is excited to offer a summer workshop series, featuring four lessons across four days. This event is designed for girls entering 4th through 6th grade. This series is a fun way to give girls the tools they can use to access their own courage, perseverance, selflessness and devotion.
Each two-hour session will feature a Grace & Grit lesson for the girls to read, followed by an interactive discussion on that day’s historical heroine by G&G founder, Heather Stark. A fun activity will conclude each session.
9:30-11:30 a.m. each day
$10 per day or $32 for the full series
