The last week of school Gary (Johnson, Farm Drive's Director) and I hit 6
graduations. Here's some pictures of us with some of the kids. This is Inez and I at Canoas' graduation. I have a special place in my heart for 5th grade girls as this is the age group I had both at the Center for Homework and also at Canoas School for Kids Club every week.
Here's Pete and Gary with Johnny and Sergio, 2 boys that graduated from John Muir Middle School. We are of course hoping they both come back to Homework Club in the Fall.
Cristina is loved by so many. These are her 3 leaders (Rachel, Sarah and Stacy) from Bible Club (meets every Saturday). She graduated from Gunderson High School and is going to go to West Valley Junior College in the Fall. We are all very proud!
Another high school graduate is Michelle. She graduated from Oak Grove. This picture is filled with people involved with Farm Drive in one way or another. Michelle has moved out of the neighborhood but still comes by and keeps in touch. She started to come to the Center when she was very little, so we all know her well. A large group of us all went to see her graduate. Fun!
The first week the kids were out Gary and I rewarded kids with good grades by having a
swim party at Gary's house. The 16 kids that went had a blast! Here's Jayro doing a cannonball.
4 girls all jumping in at the same time. . . . Can't believe I actually got that shot!
What can I say but FUN!
2 days after we had the swim party we took 15 kids to
Alcatraz Island in San Francisco. We asked each to pay $5 (people at Hillside give generously so that's how we can afford to only ask for $5 from the kids) and they had to be in 3rd grade...that was it. We all had a great time. At Pier 39 we saw all these sea lions. They create quite a crowd of onlookers. Pretty fun to watch them fight over spaces on the dock.
Group shot at the Pier before boarding the ferry.
Waving hi on the boat.

Fidel and Eric are quite a pair. Very good friends.
