The children of Home Sweet Home, the preschool of Alternatives in Action, released five classroom butterflies into the community garden this morning. All five had hatched last week in the preschool and the children got an opportunity to study them in detail before setting them free.
or in this case, a really big thing. Alternatives in Action now has a giant shipping container on campus for storage. Just part of the preparation for opening our high school, BASE, on August 24, 2009...
HOME Project's Summer Leadership Program took their first Friday field trip to Oakland Museum of California. The youth and staff were able to enjoy a new exhibit called The African Presence in México: From Yanga to the Present which is a look at the little-known history of enslaved Africans brought to Mexico in the 1500s and their contributions to Mexican culture. They also toured the Natural Sciences Gallery. After viewing the exhibits, our youth spent time playing lawn games in the Museum's courtyard.
