Christmas Holiday Mug Magic: Merry Mugs!
Celebrate the holiday season with a little warmth, creativity, and cheer at Christmas Holiday Mug Magic, hosted by First Light Pathways! This cozy, hands-on event invites children and families to design and decorate their very own Christmas mugs in a fun, welcoming environment surrounded by festive music, sweet treats, and community spirit. ☕🎨✨

Our mission is to bridge the gap in educational equity and enrichment for children from preschool through high school. We provide tutoring, mentorship, and creative learning opportunities that help every child shine—especially those from single-parent or middle-income families who often fall between traditional aid thresholds.
Our programs include academic tutoring, book clubs, math clubs, cooking classes, and seasonal “Pop-Up” workshops like this one. We believe that every child deserves access to meaningful experiences that nurture confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
