Girls On Fire!

Last Friday, our older girls that attend BGC went to a conference called “Girls On Fire.” It was a fun day filled with learning, singing, dancing, and most importantly learning about how to prevent Cyberbullying. The girls sat through different lessons about social media, how to prevent bullying online and learned about self-competence and how to inspire other women. Guest speakers included Mayor Jan Moore and Dean of Students Patrice Buckner Jackson !
Thanks to all who participated and volunteered, it was such a great and inspiring day!

Terrific Kid Tuesday “Most Improved”

Meet RJ! He is only 9 years old and this is his FIRST summer at BGC. He is originally from Glennville, Ga. RJ has been voted most improved because he has shown great character in the class room, and respect to the teachers and surrounding classmates. “It can be hard coming to a new place, so at first I was shy, but then the Club quickly became like home,” RJ said. RJ said if he could bring something new to BGC, it would be a Science lab. “Science is my favorite subject,” exclaimed RJ.

CONGRATS on being most improved!

Terrific Kid Tuesday!

This little girl is only 4 years old and today is awarded the Terrific Kid Tuesday Award! She always comes into  BGC with a big smile on her face ready to conquer the day. She may be little, but she packs some heat, Bella has a Tiny Tiger 2nd Degree Black Belt! Bella is always fashioned in a cute pink outfit, “bubble gum pink is my favorite color!” Bella exclaimed. What a perfect color to match her bubbly personality. Bella’s favorite activity at the Boys & Girls Club is dancing in the game room. Congrats Bella on being Terrific Kid Tuesday!

Meet Keenedi, our MVP of the week! During the school year we give out awards to the “Terrific Kid” of the week, in the summer we call them our MVP’s. We chose our MVP’s based off their work, their attitude, and overall character throughout the week. Kennedi has been dubbed as the”Leading Lady” this week for her great leadership skills in and outside of the classroom. Here she is leading some girls and even some boys, in a dance routine! Kennedi desires to be a nurse when she gets older. Congratulations Kennedi!

School’s Out for Summer!

What could be better than some juicy watermelon on a sunny Statesboro day!?

School is out for the summer! Which means our Summer Program has officially begun! Monday at 7:30a.m. we opened our doors, ready for the kids. This summer will be packed with many different activities ranging from Recreational Fitness to Arts & Crafts to the “surprise” field trips that will take place each Friday. It is nice to have the kids back, their laughter and joy that this program brings them puts smiles on our faces.
We are grateful to those that have supported our Club, were it not for you these kids would be doing nothing productive with their summer. While we have a fun environment set up for the kids, we never forget our number one priority which is their education. During our Summer Program, education is something we keep focus on throughout the entire day. Here at our Club we have 8 learning facilities, two which include computer labs. We also have such a lovely staff, I do not know what we would do without them. Each morning they come in with bright smiling faces, and that is how they continue through their 10 hour work day! Everyone is so encouraging to one another, I am so grateful for the oppurtunity to work at this facility.
