Service Day

Today was our first service day this year. Again most student chose to work at Edgewood Primary School. I love the way they talk about their experiences at the end of the day. They each have a different story to tell. I know that it makes them feel good about themselves as they give back to their community.
Friday will be our first birthday celebration of this year. The students who have summer birthdays were quick to point out that we haven't celebrated their birthdays yet. We will make a point to do that during on of these coming months.

First Day with Students

Today was the first day of school. It is still hard to believe that summer is over. This morning was really busy. There are a lot more students in the morning and we had programming difficulties. Thanks goodness the students are flexible and patient. They definitely had to use those skills today. Lana, our ever faithful volunteer, returned to help this afternoon. We were still having programming problems but once again the students were great. The men in CA finally got everything running around 1:30 p.m. It was smooth sailing from then on.

We had three former students stop by today. It was great to catch up with them. I am sure we will see them periodically this year.

Dee Burt joins us this year as our Workforce Coordinator. She spent the day doing interest inventories with the students. I think this position is a huge asset to our program. I look forward to the development of the work component.

I foresee another great year at The Edge!
