Support of School-Aged Children Continues

StepUp’s program for school-aged children is now called Middle Ground! This age group has stayed connected in the last two months through weekly ZOOM calls on Wednesdays. During our time together, we recap our weeks and try to maintain some sense of normalcy amidst this pandemic. 

One of our favorite partners, the Poe Center, typically visits in April. The Poe Center always brings  fun, informative, and interactive lessons that keep the students engaged and learning. We were really sad about our children missing these opportunities, but luckily we did not miss a beat! The Poe Center has some great online resources that we have been able to utilize and make sure our students are still receiving valuable weekly lessons as planned. 

Each week we visited a different topic, including healthy eating habits, cooking, and medicine safety. The kids completed online activities and discussed the topics. Thanks to the Poe Center for providing materials and concepts for us to explore.
