Similar to last year, the after school program kids hosted Parents' Night 2010. The event gives kids the opportunity to share their work over the year with their family as well as other members of the community. I help them compile a powerpoint presentation that includes all the pictures and video from our projects throughout the year. This year, a few of the members got together and wrote a song about their group, which they performed for the parents, and everyone enjoyed snacks and cupcakes (yes, I baked all 96 cupcakes the night before). Dollars for Change handed out parent surveys in order to get some feedback about how the parents felt about the program and what changes they may have noticed in their child. The response was fantastic, and showed that we are definitely on the right track in making a real difference in the lives of these kids. Saturday, September 25, 2010
