KYC’s 2022 Prom!
Guess what last Wednesday was? KYC MINI PROM! Did you ever think prom could be planned and executed in one week? Well, we are here to tell you it’s possible! It all started with a box of beautiful gowns donated to the KYC last week and well… you know how the story goes! Teens had a great time dressing up, socializing, eating, taking pictures, and of course, dancing! We held a contest to earn the title of KYC Prom Protégé, where teens could choose to speak for one minute on their vision for a positive future. We had no idea that over 15 teens would stand up in front of a group of almost 40 to speak. We awarded one teen with the title of Prom Protégé; congrats Julie! The evening ended with dessert, tiaras, and a balloon drop! What a successful evening! Thank you to all the teens who helped plan our first ever Prom!
Movie Night at Wolfeboro Library!
We had a great night at the @wolfeboro.public.library last night! Dinner and movie for our group of almost 30! Thank you to the library for the hospitality and letting us enjoy a screening of The Princess Bride!
Cheffing-It-Up and Woodworking!
Yesterday we played “What Do You Meme?” which was hilarious! We also started some woodworking projects and did a baking activity with Diane. Students who participated were able to bring home a warm apple crisp to enjoy with their families. Cheffing-It-Up is a group favorite and it’s always exciting when we can offer it!
Spring Celebrations
Last week was full of spring celebrations! We held an “Egg-scape Room” with a large group, where they had to follow clues (all egg puns!) to a sweet treat! We also had an egg hunt, and lots of fun spring themed games!
Getting Outside and Science Experiments!
We made sure to get outside during the great weather we had yesterday! We also got to enjoy a science project that Shelly brought, and spring themed treats!
General Fun at the KYC!
Last week we worked on finishing up our Global Art Project for Peace to send to Morocco soon. Shelly brought dirt themed activities for us- we started some seedlings, repotted and separated a plant, made ooblek, and overall had a great afternoon!
We also just recently discovered that we have a lot of KYC teens are good at, and enjoy, chess! So we held a chess tournament, which was a tough competition!
We made gourmet pancakes for snack last week! You should have seen the creations these teens dreamt up. It’s always fun when we can offer Cheffing It Up!
Career Exploration: Island Glow Beauty
We had the pleasure of touring @islandglowbeauty this afternoon for one of our Career Exploration field trips! Sandra Bullis showed us around, talked about the importance of trade schools, and welcomed questions with a huge smile on her face! She treated KYC’ers to snacks and drinks, and even goodie bags! She answered skin care questions and had more than one student ask “How old do I have to be to work here?!” What an absolutely fantastic tour. Thank you Sandra!
Perspectives On Prevention: EMT
Last week, we had Janet Williamson speak in our Perspectives on Prevention series. Janet works extremely hard at three different jobs in the Emergency Medical Services field. She shared her insight and wisdom on substance misuse. KYC’ers were very interested in Janet’s perspective and asked many thoughtful questions. Thank you, Janet!
An Evening at the Wolfeboro Town Library!
For our evening program yesterday we took a group of KYC’ers to the @wolfeboro.public.library to watch the movie Matilda! We had dinner, snacks, and enjoyed relaxing together in the library’s great gathering space!
A Day At Camp Sentinel
Over February vacation we spent a day at Camp Sentinel! Hiking to The Ledges was beautiful and snowy, with a great view! We played shuffleboard, some get-to-know-you games, had an indoor and outdoor fire, dinner, s’mores, and SO MUCH FUN! A huge thank you to Brandon and everyone at Camp Sentinel for your hospitality!
