Middle School members of the Tater Taco Toaster Strudel (TTTS) Teen Outreach Program (TOP) Club were treated to an end of semester reward party today. Students enjoyed a free buffet lunch at Simple Simon’s, and played a fun Christmas gift game that helped test the listening skills they’ve worked on during some of our lessons during the semester. The reward party also served as a celebration to recognize the students for their hard work and participation in several Community Service Learning (CSL) projects this semester, such as volunteering during Halloween in the Park, making Veterans Day cards and treat bags for soldiers overseas, and making homemade Christmas ornaments for the nursing home.
Thank you, students, for a job well done!
TOP Club will resume on Wednesday, January 8, 2020.
