The WE Schools Program was first introduced to Audubon PrimeTime middle school students last school year as they worked on WE Rise Above, making a documentary on “Acceptance.” The campaign was such a big hit that the kids could not wait to get started this year. The middle school students just finished their event on WE Scare Hunger. They created a “Fall Shake Down” Dance which consisted of collecting canned goods for the San Diego Food Bank in order to raise awareness of the root of causing hunger. One can for admission, additional cans for snacks, refreshments, and access to the photo booth. The WE kids’ goal was to collect 250 cans, but instead reached 378 cans of food! Congrats to Audubon’s WE Kids!
Audubon PrimeTime dancers opened the 33rd Touching Minds Shaping Futures (TMSF) Conference held Saturday, October 23 at Lewis Middle School. For the past 33 years, The Children’s Initiative has hosted a half-day conference for more than 500 before and after school staff in San Diego County. TMSF conference trains and educates staff to better respond to the needs of their students and celebrates their commitment and contributions to their students, programs, and schools.
