Newsletter For What Happened in May 2024

As Ness students loaded into one of the vans and headed towards the Community Center, there was laughing and joking as usual. But one student wasn't having it! Orion quickly turned around and said "How on earth are you smiling and laughing right now? Don't you know this is the last week of STAR Club for the year!??!"


This was the feeling all week from the students as the week before Memorial Day was our final week of STAR Club until our summer programs kick off the first Monday after school gets out. Peyton, our STAR Club Coordinator did a phenomenal job all year, but she really knocked it out of the park for our final STAR Club days. We had a Bouncy House, crafts, games, pizza, and she made graduation certificates & goody bags for the 5th graders. She ended the time by having staff and volunteers share words of encouragement to them before the evening was done.


This years after-school programs went super well, and we are all excited for what our summer program brings starting June 17th.







Girl Scouts

For the second year in a row, Girl Scout Troop 2241 showed up at STAR Club to give boxes of cookies to our students. This year it happened to be on our final STAR Club day which was a perfect extra treat!

Thank you so much Troop 2241! 

Activities!

The last Thursday of the month is when we usually do our monthly Millwood Meal, but for May, it happened to be on the same day as the West Valley Block Party! If you aren't familiar with the block party, it is an amazing community event where thousands of people show up at West Valley High School for a meal, community connections, fun kids games, resources, and more. We weren't going to compete with that, nor would we want to. It was so fun having our staff there seeing many families and people in the community.

This month we have our Millwood Meal on June 27th at 6pm. City on a Hill Church is hosting and making another amazing meal like they did last time! I hope you can make it. Register here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/6z3buza
