Last week we had great participation and lots of fun activities. Monday was poetry club where we read poems we had written about “building yourself up”. All of the girls spoke and wrote beautifully, and Charvis spoke to them about finding their individual voice. Tuesday started off with basket weaving and was followed by David Bowen’s dance class. Dance club always has the best turnout, the girls love it and David gives them a chance to unwind but also learn something new. Wednesday was beach cleanup at Blue Hills Beach, a really successful day. We picked up 1,560 pounds of trash!! Thursday we had a drawing class and learnt how to paint using watercolours and then back to dance again! Friday was our second Open Mic night. We barbecued, sang, read poetry, and danced. There was a lot of laughter and a lot of fun had by all.
