AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMMING NEWS
|
|
See what we've been doing this
week -- after-school, and meet some of the special people that make our
programs work! |
|
|
|
Cedar Community Learning Center
 |
This
past week, we feature two major activities. Students and
staff of the Cedar CLC honored veterans. Cedar staff gave a
brief shout to our veterans.
Click HERE to see it.
In addition, Cedar CLC students enjoyed Art week. This week
they began to work on self-portraits by using the example of
Pablo Picasso.

East Community Learning Center
 |
Students from the East
Community Learning Center were busy using their talents to
record a song "Exercise and Energize" for the Healthy Living
for Kids TV show. Through music, the students identified
that we live in a fast-paced world where it is sometimes hard to
make good choices concerning our health. It is great to be
reminded now and then about how our choices affect our lives and
how we feel. The students also enjoyed watching camerman, Mike
McNeese, capture the activity and learn how a television show is
made.

Tallmadge Community Learning Center
 |
Last week, Nancy
Morrison, from the Humane Society, visited the Tallmadge CLC. She
brought a special friend with her, a dog she rescued named Daisy. She
taught us how to adopt and care for the many varieties of animals she
gets at the society. We also honored two more HEROES of the week --
Callie Thornton and Cody Curry.

West After School Center
 |
The West After School Center remembered our servicemen and women on
Veterans Day, November 11, 2009, with a program featuring one of our
volunteers, Mrs. Betty Tudor. Mrs. Tudor was a Navy nurse for 20 years.
She enlisted in the military after graduating from the University of
Cincinnati because she wanted to do something exciting. She was
stationed around the world including time in Puerto Rico, Newfoundland,
and many posts in the United States. She finished her career in
Washington State and decided to come home to Ohio. Betty enjoyed her
time in the Navy helping many men and women while serving our country.
The students at the WASC saluted our friend and thanked her for sharing
her career story with us! |

Children's Author Margaret Wolford (Newark,
Ohio) will be visiting our centers in November and December
No Sugar Coating
by Margaret Wolford
"Alana thinks keeping a journal is just one more boring assignment until
she realizes her life is anything but dull! Who really is Janamarie? Why
does Kimmie act so strangely outside of school? Is making mashed
potatoes that big of deal? Join Alana in No Sugar Coating as she solves
a mystery or two, learns a lesson about friendship, and endures her
mother's terrible cooking. A journal that at first seemed like a dumb
idea becomes a place to record the mysterious, wonderful, and sometimes
painful happenings in ten-year-old Alana Davis' life. No Sugar Coating
may be her first journal, but it won't be her last."
Hear Ms. Wolford at the East CLC on
November 13; WASC on December 4, the Cedar CLC on December 11, and the
Tallmadge CLC (TBD) in January, 2010. |

your local Krogers. It's simple. Just sign up and every time
you shop and have your

amount comes to the West After School Center. Encourage your friends to
help us - and support our mission! |

Pick up a copy of the registration form
from the WASC. It has the scanbar code on it.
-
Simply take the form to the Customer
Service Desk at your local Kroger store. They will scan it and your
Kroger Plus Card, and with 72 hours a percentage of everything
purchased at Krogers comes to the WASC - between now and April 30,

What you can do to protect
yourself from the Swine Flu… (source:
www.examiner.com)
Follow some common sense protections
emphasized for any flu, including seasonal flu:
-
Keep your hands washed as simple as this
sounds, it is one of your best defense in washing away viruses
effectively.
-
Use a hand sanitizer when you are unable
to wash with soap and water.
-
Avoid being near others who might be sick
to avoid breathing droplets they have sneezed or coughed, or
touching something they have touched.
-
Try to limit touching your eyes, nose and
mouth.
-
Keep your immune system healthy.
-
Eat nutritious foods-consume a varied diet
of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts to boost the immune
system.
-
Exercise daily –walk or dance in your
home.
-
Manage your stress level through
relaxation therapy.
-
Get your rest and a good night sleep.
-
Keep a distance of at least three feet
between yourself and others whenever possible.
-
If things continue to get worst it is
recommended to wear a mask and gloves.
And finally no, you can’t get the swine flu
from eating pork. The reason is the influenza viruses are not
transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating
pork or pork products. Eating properly handled cooked pork and/or a
pork product is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of
160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and
viruses.

Wash Your Hands! Avoid the Flu!
Look for the WASC "Sneeze" Commercial
playing on the LSN! |
