After School Trips & Projects!

With After School having some days off, the After School team has been preparing fun trips and activities for them!

On Monday, the After Schoolers went to Shalom Farms. Even with the drizzle and chilly weather, they enjoyed learning about organic fruits and veggies!

Friday (Today) is another day off for Richmond County! They got the chance to create "Shrunken Heads". They started with a regular apple...

And then they peeled and carved faces and initials into the apple...

The process takes several days, so the final pictures of the project will be on our next blog!

The After Schoolers weren't finished there! They decorated posters for the WUMC Monster Party!

What a busy Friday!
