Kids Ahead After-School

🌈💛 Kindness in Action! 💛🌈

Hey friends! Our After School Program is spreading kindness and care all around our community — and we need YOUR help! 🙌

🏫 Let’s Help Gateway Education Center!
We’re raising money to help finish their awesome new playground! 🎠
Kids can earn donations by doing kind things at home — like helping with chores, reading to a sibling, or writing a thank-you note. Every act of kindness brings us one step closer to helping Gateway kids play and laugh together! 💕

🥫 Food Drive Fun!
We’re also collecting food for families in need. Bring in non-perishable items to share some love and fill up our Food Drive boxes with goodness for our neighbors!

Let’s see how much kindness we can create together! 💪💖
Bring your donations and food items by [insert date].

Together, we can make a BIG difference with small acts of love! 🌟

🤟✨ Signing Fun After School! ✨🤟
Our 2nd and 3rd graders had an awesome time today learning American Sign Language (ASL) with one of our amazing teachers - Miss Marcella! They practiced signing their names and a few fun phrases — and absolutely loved it! 💬💙

The best part? This is just the beginning! Over the next few weeks, all grades will get to join in the ASL fun. Get ready to see lots of happy hands signing around our program! 👋😄

When we come together, small acts make a big impact. Every can, box, and dollar helps provide fresh and shelf-stable food for our neighbors in need. Join us in supporting Greensboro Urban Ministries and Second Harvest Food Bank. Your generosity makes a real difference.

🗳️ Election Day Fun! 🗳️
Our after-school program is celebrating Election Day in a special way — by giving our students the chance to exercise their right to vote! 🇺🇸

Instead of choosing candidates, our students are casting ballots for something a little sweeter… their favorite snacks! 🍎🍪🍿

It’s a fun and engaging way to learn about the voting process, the importance of having a voice, and how every vote counts — even when it’s for chips vs. fruit snacks! 😄

🎃💚 SomeBODY once told me… it’s HALLOWEEN! 💚🎃

Our after-school staff totally ogre-achieved this year — they surprised the students by showing up as the whole Shrek squad! 🧅 From Shrek , Fairy Godmother, Dragon, Three Blind Mice and even a few fairy-tale extras, the swamp came to school today!

The kids were SHREK-ing out with laughter and loved every second. 🐴👑✨

Big shoutout to our awesome team for bringing the magic (and a little bit of the swamp) to Halloween!

🎉 Color Party Fun! 💜

Today our 1st graders kicked off our Kids Ahead Color Parties with an awesome PURPLE PARTY! 💜 From games to crafts, it was a blast from start to finish — and we had an extra special guest drop by... Swarmy from the Greensboro Swarm 🏀🐝!

We’re so excited to keep the fun going with more color parties for each grade, K–5, throughout the year!

And don’t forget — we’ll be celebrating together at Kids Ahead Night at the Swarm this February! 🙌
