I just got back from having lunch with one of our after school students named Mario at his school. Mario happens to be in Emily's 3rd grade class so after lunch I went back to their classroom and sat in on their "best Halloween costume contest". It was nice to get a glimpse into Emily's daily surroundings and I think Mario was glad to see me.
We are enjoying the cooler weather now after a long hot summer. Our after school program has been going well. We have about 15 regular students now which is about all 3 or 4 tutors can handle. On Thursdays I am leading the Boys club. Boys club is basically a group of boys from the after school program and around the neighborhood who meet each week and do activities. Once a month we will do a community service project in our area. We will also take a field trip to do something fun each month. So far we have been reading a book together about growing up with out a dad and playing a lot of football.
I may have forgot to mention on here that Emily’s mean principle got fired about a month ago so things have been looking up for her at work lately.
Last weekend we were given some tickets to the Jackson State homecoming football game. It was a great experience despite JSU getting whooped.
