Winter 2018
Time to Enroll for Winter Activities
The Compliment Project
Each student enrolled in the JFK After School Center designed an anony-
mous flyer that included positive comments about student and staff mem-
bers. Parents of individual students were given a copy of the flyer to share
with their family on Thanksgiving Day. The flyers were filled with wonderful
compliments pointing out strengths, creativity, sense of humor, leadership,
enthusiasm,
friendship and the originality of individuals. This project was
so well received, the group will revisit this again at the end of the school
year.
