We are using the Reflect the Light of the Lord program this year as our main theme. In addition, I've tried to base classes/lessons around what is being taught each month in RS, since we were told to base our Enrichment nights around the monthly lessons. I'll tell you what - boy has it been a chore to come up with things that "go together" and make sense so we can have a cute theme or advertising slogan. But here's what I've got so far.
