November Outreach

We just completed the final outreach of 2008! It has been a year full of students coming to Centro Especial Genesis to bless and learn from us! We have loved having all of you.

This final outreach was a busy one! We hosted a team from Riverbank and another from The Chapel. Thanks to both churches for sending a team. We hasted 2 participants at Special Ed and one at Developmental Therapy (note the new name!)

Jordan, Denise, and Gwen did a great job of jumping in and building relationships with the kids. It was a joy to have all three of you at the site!!! We also welcomed a number of visitors including the Art Site (thanks for coming to play), Pam and Delora from the SI home office in CA, and various group leaders. Thanks for participating the the Lord's work at Centro Especial Genesis!

Student Awards

This school year we have started a good behavior/homework completion program. Our goal is to encourage the kids to behave during class and to do their homework each night at home. If they complete both tasks for the month then at the end of the month they receive a prize and a ribbon. Their names are also placed on a certificate that hangs in the office for the next month, recognizing their achievement. Join us in congratulating this months winners: Nelito, Mildred, Angelica, Madeline, Jonathan, Patricia, Candy, Omar, and Manuel Andres

All of November's winners!

Candy is so proud!
