Hello Friends!
Summer Program is in the books and we’ve circled back around to preparing for After School Program. August gives the opportunity for a (brief) respite before we have friends in the building once again. Personally, we have two days of downtime before we dive deep into quick planning sessions this year with less than two weeks between the end of our Summer Program and the first day of school. I encourage everyone who works with youth to take some down time where you can, our jobs are so rewarding, but also so taxing.
What do you do with the Spotlights once you download them? I personally print and put them into my monthly idea binders because I'm old school and prefer having a paper copy of everything. I also have a digital file for each month where I keep them. I use them as a reference when planning activities at the Club, and for fun ways to add some excitement in my downtime.
How will you choose to celebrate this month? Whatever you choose I wish you the very best that late summer has to offer!
