Lend a Hand Equine Program Graduation Day!
|
|
THANK YOU Jessica Moses at Lend A Hand Therapeutic Riding Center. We are so incredibly grateful for the Equine Program that was made possible by a grant from the Humanity of Justice Foundation. Jessica is an amazing leader, motivator, therapist and supporter. Our kids gained SO MUCH from this incredible program. We will put photos in their beautiful frames and they will have a keepsake to remember what they learned, how they grew, the friendships that were strengthened and the self esteem that was raised.

To see the joy on their faces, the confidence gained, and
experience the love felt between our kids and their new four legged friends...is life changing!

NEA Challenge America Grant

As part of our National Endowment for the Arts Awards - Challenge America, and Gimble Grant, we are incorporating a variety of artistic mediums, including dance, drama, music, and visual arts in our month long celebration of Cultural Heritage at Oak Grove. We'll be exploring
Cultural Heritage
as an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values. Miss Cynthia Ross is teaching ethnic cooking weekly at the Ranch as well with our Residential Boys and Girls. Kimmie Morrow, one of our visiting artists is teaching Dance every Wed and Thurs. Our students will perform on Feb 26 and there will also be an art show.

ROTARIANS - Leaving a Legacy
|

Our Interact students were thrilled to attend the Rotarian Interact Peace Conference in Ontario last month. They heard from amazing speakers who taught our future leaders peace and conflict resolution. It was a wonderful opportunity for our Interact students to learn about Service, hear and interact with Rotarians who are Role Models as leaders and humanitarians.
THANK YOU Temecula Noon Rotary for your support! We are so excited to announce that 4 of our students will be attending RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) along with Tammy, and other Rotarians thanks to their generosity with sponsoring.
