Yes, a lot of incredible volunteers.

Grade 6 grad, but no awards. Awards will be handed out on a separate night and only for the kids winning the awards and there families. Apparently some teacher feel that handing out awards at graduations is not helping the mental health of the kids not receiving awards.

So, we ended up with 40 kids for our summer program. 10 are there just till noon, and 30 are there all day. Breakfast, Lunch, and snack in the afternoon. It's nice that the church has a full commercial kitchen. Crafts might be our biggest program, along with our baking classes.

Wow, it's been a fast couple of months. But, today was the last day of the church breakfast, lunch, summer camp program. It took a lot of volunteers to may this a super success. What an amazing group of people.

Had our annual Thanksgiving dinner last night. 116 people, most of which are kids and there family's from our breakfast/lunch program. It was held at our church with 22 volunteers. 4 amazing ladies that cooked the turkeys. We actual had a band after dinner for about 30 minutes, and then dessert.   

Cute little story, one of the little girls thought the whole berry cranberry sauce was dessert.

Well, before Christmas we were averaging about 30/35 kids for breakfast and 40 kids for lunch. The last two days, 42 for breakfast, and 55/60 for lunch. One mother telling me that with gas at $1.48, property taxes going up by 6%, and her cell phone jumping up $6.00 per mouth, she is tapped out. She is forced to us these programs. For many, it's going to be a tough year.

22 kids for breakfast this morning, 71 for lunch. The kids would rather stay in bed a little longer on a cold morning, and then stay for lunch. We are also finding kids asking for snacks at break time because they have missed breakfast.

Haven't spent much time at the school lately. Today 19 kids for breakfast, and 32 for lunch. Nice to see families figuring it out.

First time back in nearly a month. Numbers nearly the same. 21 kids for breakfast, 28 kids for lunch. Really impressed with the volunteers and the Grade 6 students that come in early and pitch in.

Our church will be funding a breakfast/lunch program again this summer. This program will max out at 60 kids. We will also be offering a day camp for $10 per day for any children with working parents. 40 spots open for the day camp and already 60 applications. Lots of hard work by many volunteers to raise the money to support these programs.

Keep up the good work! Encouraging to hear.

I am happy to say the summer program is going well, other then the air quality problems. Had to cancel a couple of outings. But, for the most part smooth sailing. Lots of great volunteers.

About three weeks left in our summer program. AQ has been a problem most of the summer. A total of 33 volunteers and a few paid grade 12 students, have done an excellent job to keep the kids busy and well feed.
