A Word from Ms. LeAnn
In September, we completed our plans for Make A Difference Day, the menu for our Thanksgiving Cooking Activity, as well as identified our ‘Bonfire’ themed Holiday Social. I Hope to see you there! Also, during that meeting we had, a representative from Job Corp shared information regarding the program.
Did you know that Job Corps:
- Is a residential program that provides housing, meals, basic medical care, and a living allowance?
- Offers hands-on career training and education to prepare you for a good job?
- Services youth from 16-24 years of age?
- Is FREE to eligible youth?
- Helps change your life?
- Allows youth to attend whether you have a GED, high school diploma or have dropped out of high school?
October 7, 2014 at 6p.m. at Moore County DSS
(CARETAKERS & YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEMS CAN ATTEND THIS ONE!!!)
Joint event with LINKS and Foster/ Adoptive Parents with a representative from the State Employee’s Credit Union sharing information on services available, protecting your credit, as well as filing taxes
Upcoming Events
ALOHA ZOO
Saturday October 25
For Make a Difference Day 2014, we will be volunteering at Aloha Zoo of Cameron. This is an animal reserve. Dress in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Closed toe shoes are encouraged. After this, we will have lunch in Sanford, followed by going to Gross Farms of Sanford to go through their Corn Maze and possibly a hay ride for our Fall Social. I hope EVERYONE will be able to join us. This is different from what we planned at our meeting but I was unable to coordinate with the schools for our original project. COME PREPARED TO WORK & THEN HAVE SOME FUN!!!
Looking Ahead:
November 13:
Thanksgiving Cooking Activity as well as a representative from a local insurance agency to share information on how you as youth can get vehicle insurance at the best rates.
December 4:
‘Bonfire’ Themed Holiday Social. I’m thinking about roasting hot-dog weenies, Smore’s, and having a lot of great fun as we wrap up another great year!
