NAHMA Poster Contest Video!

As promised, here's a video/slideshow of some pictures of the kids and teens participating in the NAHMA's poster contest. The youth did a great job, and we hope we have some winning posters in this bunch!

NAHMA Poster Contest

Here at 808-812, we've had a number of kids and teens participating in the NAHMA's poster contest. This year's theme is "Take the Next Step: Let's Take Care of Our World." The kids have been using crayons, markers, colored pencils, and more to create their works of art in hopes of winning the top prize: $2,500 and a trip to Washington D.C.! 

The kids have done a great job, and are proud of their work. Here are a few pictures from the poster-making days; there will be a video with more, including the finished products, in a little bit.

Pictures from Fun Day!

During April Vacation, the Management Office held a "Fun Day" for the kids and teens across the street at Riverside Press Park.

We played basketball, tag, Old Lady Witch, soccer, and more. We also got to enjoy pizza from Riverside Cafe, along with juiceboxes and water. The weather was beautiful, and the kids and teens had a great time playing a variety of games.

Check out the video below for some photos from the day. Thanks to the Management Office for making it all happen!

Another cooking class!

Back in March, we had a great time cooking fudge with Ms. Releigh, the Cocoa Lady. The Cocoa Lady was kind enough to have another cooking class for us two weeks ago, and we made tuna and turkey wraps, complete with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and homemade dressing!

The kids had a great time making the wraps, and more than one said it was "the best lunch ever!"

Check out the video below for some pictures from the class. Thanks again, Cocoa Lady!
