How was your year?
In order to fight against Childhood obesity and its various physical and emotional affects, BHC students at Germantown Beacon Center have become responsible citizens, taking leadership and ownership by completing various BHC activities: On February 26th, 2009 and March 26th, 2009 students hosted Healthy Eating Parties. Students made healthy snacks such as monkeysicles, fruit salad, trail mix and fresh juices for their families. They then played the healthy food riddle game with their families while sharing what they learned about eating healthy and exercising. On March 27th, 2009 students performed a play they wrote -Be Strong: Wendy and The Donuts - during Harambee Time (informal sharing sessions when students and staff come together to celebrate themselves and each other). Students also created placemats, cookbooks, and a DVD of Be Strong: Wendy and The Donuts which also shows commercials advocating healthy eating and exercise. The cookbook and DVD were sold for $1. All three items and money will be donated to the Acts of the Apostles Shelter for Women.

Special Thanks
Amy Andrews, William Irons, E.W. staff, and all BHC students for their support and hard work.
