Sensory Friendly events
We have done both swimming at the YMCA and the Hulbert Aquatic Center. These events happen randomly and are not scheduled at a specific day or time. All events will be posted in the FM Special Needs Support Network Facebook page for signup and specific details.
We have done sensory friendly movies at Marcus Theater in the past depending on the movies available.
TNT Fun
The FM Autism Support Group started renting out TNT open gym for children with special needs and their families to have fun. Since combining the FM Autism Support Group and the FM Special Need Support Network, this is another fun event that we have the privilege to continue. This event runs from September to May generally the Sunday after the first Wednesday of the month, please check our Facebook for exact dates and updates. Our group will rent TNT from 4-5:30pm during the school year. Please check our Facebook page for more information/day or time changes as well as cancellations for this event.
December 2021
Cookies and Crafts
For our monthly meeting in December the last few years we chose to do something fun that the kids could come and enjoy. Our group brought cookies and juice for snacks to this meeting. We also provided crafts for the children and adults to make during the meeting. This was so much fun!
Silent Auction (April 2021)
For raising funds to put on events for families we have done silent auctions and a garage sale in the past. The funds from these type of events allow us to put on events and activates with little to no cost for families in the community.
Annual Walk (June 2021)
Our 1st walk was held at MB Johnson Park in Moorhead on June 3, 2018. In spite of a little wind and weather, we had a great turnout! We continued the tradition and the walk is held in June annually. The path is a paved making it easy for strollers and wagons. It is a family fun and kid-friendly event. Local organizations and facilities provided resource information and activities for the kids during registration and throughout the walk. We provide a light lunch for those who attend.
This event is for the entire community. You do not need to have or know someone with special needs to participate. It is a way to come together to support each other, raise money for a good cause, and have some family fun at the park.
This event is planned to happen June every year.
Please check our Facebook page for more information on next year's silent auction and walk. We hope to see you there!
