Join YAB at RBJ!

Hey guys! The Y.A.B (Youth Advisory Board) are planning another trip to  RBJ(Rebekah Baines Johnson Center for the Elderly and Disabled) and are looking for some volunteers! Who's up for a little fun with the elderly. If you come you get to help the residents make origami and other crafts. The residents love to see new young faces, so please if you can come! Enjoy some fun and laughs. We can only have so many people so the first 20 people can come but, if you don't come this time you will automatically be put in our next trip. Comment fast before it's too late! Permission Slips go out on Thursday February 21,2013.

Diversity Leadership Conference

We had such a great time at St. Stephens! We met with people just like us and got the chance to express ourselves. We played games,ate delicious food, and did different workshops. Some of the members cried because we had opened up to people about our life. All the while our supervisor was great when it came to listening to us chatter and brag about our new friends. We planned what we were going to bring to school. We,the Y.A.B, plan to start a mentorship for kids at our school and help them deal with things like school work and home. By creating this mentorship we will be the secret diaries for the kids and we hope to expand to our other campus at Jain Lane.

BBQ Block Party Success!

The recent BBQ Block Party was a great success. While the Y.A.B brought awareness to adults we served many types of healthy foods including granola and yogurt,trail mix, dried mango,kabobs,and veggie straws. Everyone in the community was happy and shocked by our findings during our food hunts. Music, face painting, and dancing kept the party going. Everyone had a job including the student council and cheerleaders.  We hope to have more events like this later on this year. You stay healthy,World!
