Basic programs began including basketball and football (among other gym <br />activities), including the beginning of a 3-on-3 basketball league. We also <br />offer assistance with home work on an as-needed basis. Another popular <br />program was SMART Moves. SMART Moves is a discussion curriculum <br />revolving around issues that teens are facing in today's society. Examples of <br />discussion topics included drug and alcohol use that our youth have come <br />across or experienced and bullying. SMART Moves averaged about 10 teens <br />per session and was held two times per week for 30-60 minutes. A third <br />program Carrie ran was a card Tournament. (The winner ofthis tournament <br />was to win a free Boys & Girls Club membership, but Carrie won with a <br />Royal Flush! This tournament drew a crowd of both spectators and <br />participants, involving a total of about 20 teens. Overall we have learned that <br />social recreation games, such as card games and chess, are popular with this <br />age group <br />7. In February, Elk River Wal-Mart invited our group to a behind the scenes tour <br />of their facility. This was a part of their Job Shadow theme day. About 15 of <br />our youth attended and learned about facility operations and careers in retail. <br />This was our first field trip with the teens and proved to be a success in <br />promoting academic performance in reaching personal goals. <br /> <br />8. General Hang Time participation has gradually increased from 15-20 per night <br />to an all time high of63. This is an exciting opportunity for us to serve our <br />local youth!
