Halloween Preparations

Not only are the BLAZERS’ CHILDREN excited preparing for Halloween this year, but their parents are also voluntarily involved in these activities. Parents and students are decorating the Blazers Learning Center with spider webs, floating ghosts, and skeletons escaping from their graves. The groundwork decorations are for the upcoming Halloween Party on Friday, October 31st. Everyone will be wearing their spookiest and most frightening costumes.

Susan with the children

Blazer Learning Center offers free tutoring to our children. Children come to the Blazers if they have any questions with their homework or if they want to improve in any other area. Susan (out tutor) has been volunteering at Blazer's for over a year she is really commited to helping the students. Susan comes every Wednesday from 4-6p.m. Ivonie thinks that Susan is one of the best tutors she has had.

Parent Meeting

The parent meeting here at the Blazers went pretty good this past tuesday, September 23rd. We were able to discuss things among each other and most importantly get feedback from the parents. We discussed each afterschool program, as well as the new ones that will be offered, upcoming events, recent events and trips we have attended, and ideas as to what the students should plant for the Healthy Lifestyles class today. It was unfortunate that some parents weren't able to make it due to the fact that it was Open House at some of our students schools. But on a much brighter note, the new students and parents attended the meeting and were enthusiastic about being in the program, as well as learning more about it. So far the week has been pretty busy enrolling new students and parents and making sure that everything runs smoothly at the center, but we hope that the parents continue to take part in their children's activities and studies by bringing them to the Blazers and attending our parent meetings.

Story Telling with the Children's Librarian

Meeting Diane (the Children's Librarian) was a really fun experience for the kids =). Diane was really sweet and patient with the kids. The children were really excited to go to the library but most important to see the brand NEW library. She readed a short funny story callled "I'd like to eat a child".

After, story telling we got a tour around the library. The kids got super excited about checking out books. Eight out of the thirteen students we took didn't have a library card =0 but now they do =D! Each child checked out from 2 to 3 books each. What was shocking =o was that Brandon one of our children checked out 7 books to read.
