We invite all of our 3rd-5th graders to be a part of the D12 Puzzle Races on Thursday, February 12th from 3:00 - 5:00 PM.
PLease use this link to RSVP by Monday, February 9th --> https://forms.gle/vNuhwkcmTS4ouyRf6

The goal is to help them dig down deep to explore what might be possible for them through a one of a kind portrait experience called the Big Dream portrait session. During the session they are encouraged to act out their dream that I later draw around them in their very own piece of art.
The second part of this experience is the empowerment event which will be Sunday, March 8th 1pm - 5pm. During this event all of the I’m Possible kiddos, including I’m Possible alumni, come together and learn about tenacity, self worth and how to be your own cheerleader as well as a cheerleader for others. Over the last 5 years we have had professional motivational speakers, an astronaut, local people chasing their big dreams, a yoga instructor and art therapist. We are passionate about teaching kids about what’s possible and give them some tools to help them along the way.
There is a fee to participate which 100% goes back into the I’m Possible event. There is the opportunity to purchase products from the studio, but I stress to parents that purchasing art it isn’t necessity to participate in the event. Each kid receives three images from their portrait session that they will use during the I’m Possible event.


This is a free event, but students are able to purchase concessions if they would like!
