Hemming Jeans Enrichment Style

Tonight for Enrichment we learned how to hem our favorite pair of jeans that is a little too long! Thank you to all who participated - more to come:) Here are a few videos if you missed this great activity.

Budget Bliss... and Worksheet:)

Last week we had another great Enrichment taught by Mike Cunningham! We learned all about budgeting, saving for the future, banks accounts, 401K's etc. There was so much to learn and so much to think about for our financial futures. Mike really knows his stuff and broke it down in a practical way. We finished the night off with homemade ice cream sandwiches - thank you to all the sisters who contributed!

Here is the link to Mike's financial forms - check them out and use them for your budget!

- Assorted candy; cut up candy bars, reeces pieces, m&m's, licorice, skittles, corn candy, etc.

Spread cookie dough on a greased or non-stick foil covered pizza pan.  Spread just to or near edge.  Back at 375 degrees for 2 minutes.  Ovens vary, keep a watch on dough and bake until golden on edges.  Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips.  You can also drop globs of peanut butter sporatically over pizza.  Wait 5 minutes.  With the back of a spoon spread melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture.  Immediately sprinkle and/or place candy all over pizza.  Can cool in refrigerator if in a hurry.  Cut into slices. Kids love to help decorate and eat!

Cut dough in 1/8" slices and lay slightly overlapping on a non-stick foil covered pizza pan.  Press together to form a large cookie.  Back at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden.  Cool.  (Can do ahead a day)  Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and spread on cookies almost to the edge.  Refrigerate.  When nearing time to serve arrange fruit slices on top attractively.  Drizzle with mixture made of the jam and water.  Cut in pizza type wedges.
