Winter Activities and Acknowledgements

I am proud to work with such great staff!  Winters are always the roughest season to manage a program, but our staff has been doing a great job ensuring our kids are safe and having fun in the after-school programs.  When it's warm enough to go outside, (and after homework is complete) our staff brings our members outside to loosen up from being inside all day.  Lately, with sub-zero temperatures, our students must stay inside and we all have to work together to continue to ensure our kids have an optimal experience in our program.

You can check each site's calendar at www.bgcwo.org and see the fun daily activities posted by our site leaders.  You will also notice SPECIALS throughout each month.  In December we invited Minds In Motion NJ LLC into all of our programs to facilitate "Robotics"  workshops.  You will also see pictures of me DJ'ing/MC'ing the DJ Dance Fitness Parties.  The Gregory After School Program stepped it up a notch and hosted a December Talent show with a full house coming to watch it!

Special Acknowledgements: 

We want to thank West Orange Unico for donating new educational toys and games to our children at Washington Elementary School during the Holiday Season.  As you can see in the pictures above, they went so far as to beautifully wrap each gift and tag each gift in the interest of age and gender.  The children really appreciated your kind hearts!
