End of the School Year with After-School

The after-school program wrapped up this week with creative arts, poetry, and dance. We had some parents join us for the celebration. We are so proud of the kids and their improvements this school year. It is so great to have the parents involved! We look forward to our summer programs that will begin in June.

Crooked Creek Ranch/Son City Kids

A little delay slowed the start of the visit to Cindy and Fred Sandline's Crooked Creek Ranch. This is one of the most enjoyed events of the year for Son City Kids and this year was no exception. The kids got opportunity to ride horses, have donkey races, wagon rides, break pinatas, eat grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and other activities. They had an awesome, fun filled day. We were all impressed how well the group behaved. The volunteers enjoyed themselves along with the kids. A number of new volunteers step up to help. We look forward to their return next month at the carnival. A huge thanks to our leaders Mayra and Ken. Without their organiztion of this event the fun factor would not have been near as high for the kids or volunteers. Please follow us on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=307699475347&ref=ts . Let us know on facebook if you would like to volunteer. We can always use more help. See all the still pics (taken by our awesome photographer Ronda) of the event on facebook.

Son City Kids Sports

This winter some of the neighborhood boys were able to do a basketball camp with Coach Ryan and Coach Kevin. They met each Monday to learn drills, work as a team and improve on their skills. At the end of the camp, a banquet was held to honor the boys with great food and trophies. They were able to celebrate their accomplishments and be recognized for their hard work. Here is link to the video made to show the boys at the banquet. It is awesome!

Madison Spring Concert!

Some of our Son City Kids will be participating in the spring concert at Madison Primary Center on May 6th. The concert begins at 7pm. You are invited. Kathy Sellers, music teacher and GCCer, never disappoints with her concerts. Here is a shot from the Christmas concert at Madison.

March Madness!

Sunday was March Madness indeed. We had 68 kids attend our first event of the year. There were thirteen 10-12 year olds attending the first part of our day. The other 55 kids came with the 4-9 group in the second part of the day. We talked about forgiveness with the kids. Reminding them that we are forgiven by Jesus, and that's what he wants us to do. The adults agreed it was great to be back with the kids. The kids energy showed us they were happy to be there too!


Next month we meet Sunday, April 18th at 12pm. All are welcome to join!

After-School Creative Arts

Last Thursday, members of the GCC Creative Arts team came to work with the kids after-school. They played theater games to promote imagination, creativity, comprehension, and fluency. It was entertaining to watch the kindergarten through fourth graders let go of their inhibitions and have a great time. They pretended to walk through popcorn, chanted together, and finished each other's sentences. It was awesome. They will be back next month and we are so glad! Here are some pictures of our fun together.
