Thanksgiving at 808-812!

We recently celebrated Thanksgiving, and decided to ask the kids of 808-812 what they were thankful for. Check out the video below, and don't forget to always count your blessings!

The value of money!

The kids here at 808-812 recently did an activity designed to teach them the value of ALL money, not just bills.

They received a jar of coins and were told that they could use it for a new Xbox game, with one catch: they had to count and sort the coins on their own!

Working as a team, the kids were able to count up all of the coins and earn enough money to buy a game of their choice. They chose NBA 2k13, and learned the value of coins in the process. Check out the video below!

Candy Apples!

Last week, the kids of 808 and 812 got to have another cooking class with the Cocoa Lady. This time, they made a delicious fall treat: candy apples!

The kids each got to make their own apple, including covering it with caramel/candy coating and dipping it in chocolate chips! The kids also learned how the nutrients in apples are good for them, and can even help with headaches.

The 808 Report: September 12th

The kids have all gone back to school, and unfortunately that means less time for fun. With homework, projects, studying, and the need for some downtime and fun after a long day at school, our 808 Reports may not be as frequent in the coming weeks.

We hope to keep doing them whenever we get a chance! Here's our most recent one, from Sept. 12th:

The 808 Report: August 15th

This week's edition of The 808 Report features a report on a recent cooking class with the Cocoa Lady, as well as a look at Roblox, one of the 808-812 kids' favorite games to play.

Why We Love National Night Out

With the help of the teens of the MYSEP, we created a video featuring the kids of 808-812, as well as other members of the community, talking about why they love National Night Out. Answers ranged from cupcakes to community, and everything in between!

808 Recycles Gets Honored!

At last week's National Night Out, our very own 808 Recycles group was honored with a certificate from the city of Cambridge and Winn Residential in honor of the kids' work in promoting recycling around the 808-812 Community.

Representatives from the city included the mayor of Cambridge, Henrietta Davis. The kids were very proud, and it proved that hard work in raising awareness can pay off!

Great job, guys! Check out a video of the certificate presentation below.
