ASAP News: Inspiring Young Minds and Encouraging Community Participation
Welcome to the December 2023 issue of our ASAP News where we keep you updated about our current happenings, fun activities, upcoming events, and plenty more. Let's dive in!
Current Happenings
Every Wednesday, our young ones take over the kitchen, and we cook together. In November, our themes were gratitude and pioneer, so we learned some fun cooking skills! The kids learned to make homemade yeast bread from scratch, and they kneaded the dough by hand! In addition, we also made homemade banana bread - a delightful treat for all.
Fun Activities
Every Thursday, the seminarians come to spend time with the kids. The kids have been enjoying the activities they have planned especially card games and music lessons. On November 15th, the kids went to the Davenport House to deliver Thanksgiving cards they made. It was a great time, filled with joy and learning.
Important Announcements
Please note that there will be no ASAP program from the weeks of December 18th to January 5th 2023 for Christmas. Our Chili Feed Fundraiser will be held on Tuesday, February 13th 2024. Our annual summer fundraiser will be held on Saturday, June 1st 2024. Stay tuned for more information on these events in upcoming issues of the newsletter!
Upcoming Events
On Thursday, December 7th, the kids will be going to the Davenport House retirement home for a field trip from 3:50pm until 5:15pm. They will be delivering Christmas cards they will be making and they will also be caroling. On Thursday, December 14th, we will be having our annual Christmas party. We hope to see you there!
