The 2012 My Picture Perfect Summer is officially over,
and what a great summer we had! This year, like every
year, was full of smiles and adventures.
Our VISTAs were dedicated members of the program.

stayed late, played basketball in 100° weather, and sat
with kids as long as they needed them when they were
feeling sad.
Our programming expanded this year, and our classes
got even better. We celebrated Spanish holidays while
learning Spanish. We learned about science in all kinds
of ways, from how to make pop bottles explode to why
our bodies get dehydrated and what we can do to avoid
it, even if we are little. We worked with the Junior
Achievement Organization to build our own towns and
