Employment and College Prep – March 7, 2015
Our March 7th event was packed with employment and college preparation activities! We were delighted to welcome our friends from Washingtonians for Children, a division of FEDCAP, to our March 7th event at the CFSA building. Also attending was our partner from Sara Start Fund, which serves older foster youth while they are in college. [...]
Good morning, everyone!
Our event at the Arts Club of Washington was one of our best ever. Once again, our hosts offered us a most wonderful experience- this time with classical music! We were treated to the lovely music of the Excelsa String Quartet:
I apologize for my terrible delay sending this report. I was without my computer on a trip last week and then it crashed on this past Monday. At last I have it repaired and I am back in action!
Happy Snowy Day!
All of us at the First Star Greater Washington Academy concluded that our May 19th event was probably one of the most powerful and meaningful times we have had together. After students refreshed themselves with fresh orange juice and bananas, we began the day with a deep yoga exercise to promote openness for contemplative thinking. We discussed May Foster Care Awareness Month and how we each have to engage in sharing knowledge and advocacy for what we are doing and needing in our lives. The four students who performed at the Arena Stage last Friday shared their play's mission and everyone had a chance to look at the “Building Blocks” of their own lives, as well as discuss the “Moving Targets” in life and how we each “Carry On”.
