The After School Program had its first Family Fun Night of the spring semester. The theme was “Mardi Gras” so we had a masquerade party with purple, green, and gold attire! The parents and kids were able to come to site dressed up in their best Mardi Gras costumes! The interns and kids had Mardi Gras beads and masks ready to go for everyone to wear, and we all celebrated a wonderful night of food and fun! The families created their own Mardi Gras masks and some of them were amazing! Two girls came in gold dresses and won the best costume award. We also had two mother/child duos that won the runner-up awards. Their costumes were delightful! The parent/teacher group held a raffle to raise money for the After School Program, and it was a hit. The parents and kids of the After School Program give so much to this program, so I am glad they got one night to relax and have fun.

Opera Day!

So were off to a fresh start! Here at Oak Cliff, we are preparing ourselves for success! Since the last time we spoke, our home has become a blank canvas, where we discover who were are in this space and who we can become. We are learning about all our interest and being exposed to even newer ones! This week we were joined by The Dallas Opera or TDOinaSuitcase. We learned all about opera and what  it consists of like a stage director, actresses, and actors. We even got to experiment with making sounds like a sound director. I’d say the best part was when were able to create our mask, after we learned about the opera show La Bohème. We also learned about the libretto and a toy maker who delights children with toys! We loved the idea so much that we decided it would be the theme for our next Family Fun Night. All of the interns and students will dress up as their favorite toy or video game character. We are really excited about this event!
