NO MORE RACISM…
The last two weeks our boys support group (mostly 12-year-olds) has had some deep and engaging discussions on racism. One of our very bright participants, Anthony, proclaimed that racism was finished…no longer existed. The other boys in the group challenged him intensely. “Why does a security guard always follow me when I’m in a store with my white friends?”
A Month in the Rosa Parks Youth Program
The Rosa Parks youth program is starting February off with a bang. On February 8th will we doing our 1st Fitness Friday of the year. We will have a Zumba instructor come in and teach the basic exercise move along with dance moves from all over the world. As we well know the rise in technology has limited our youths desire to be active so this is a great opportunity for them to exercise and have fun. On February 15th IHOP is coming in to make pancakes with our kids. Ihop brings in all types of candies & toppings for our kids to decorate these huge pancakes. It will be a fun time and we thank IHOP for providing this opportunity for our youth.
