The first week back from Spring Break was filled with excitement at our Black Mountain Boys & Girls Club as members were treated to a week all about exploring other cultures. Culture Week kicked off with the country and culture of South Africa. Mrs. Lizelle gave a fascinating presentation all about her native land of South Africa and led our members in some fun crafts. They colored South African flags and created African masks and necklaces.
Mrs. Lizelle gave a very informative presentation on South Africa.
On Tuesday, our members celebrated Chinese Culture. We learned how to spell our names using Chinese characters. We also made some beautiful dragon masks and fans. To top it all off, we got to try Chinese food that was generously donated by Food City! The kids really enjoyed immersing themselves in Chinese Culture.
Next, we had a whirlwind tour of Mexico, France, and Italy. We crafted some sensational Sombreros and French Fries, followed by delicious pizza! We also took the opportunity to celebrate Club birthdays and spend some time outside in the spring weather playing volleyball.
A big Thank You goes out to Food City for supplying the Chinese Food and Little Caesars for donating the pizza for our kids. Unit Director Chris Brown also wants to thank his dedicated staff for doing such a great job supplying our kids with a wonderful experience in his absence.
“As I was out for trainings, they continued to put on FANTASTIC programming and create a great Club experience,” Brown said.
