🌞 RCS Summer SOAR: Final Week Highlights! 🌿

We wrapped things up in the best way possible during our final week of Summer SOAR! Our week ended with a healthy eating lesson at Spencer City Park, thanks to our partners from WVU Extension, Brandy Brabham and Kellie Rose. Students even planted their own herb gardens to take home!

We enjoyed a mindfulness scavenger hunt on Ben’s Run Trail, where we spotted a couple snakes 🐍, animal tracks, feathers🪶 , flowers 🌼, spider webs 🕸️, and so much more! All while taking a healthy hike and practicing mindfulness as a SOAR family.

☀️ 🏊‍♀️ Tuesday brought fun in the sun at the Spencer City Pool, although Thursday’s visit was rained out ⛈️ .

🧺 Indoors, the fun continued! A special highlight was working with Ms. Shrekengost and Ms. Beard to create our very own handmade baskets to take home as a reminder of the unique experiences we had during Summer SOAR. This was a challenging activity, but a student favorite by far.

📖✏️ Academically, we stayed engaged with iReady, real-world math lessons like measuring our ingredients for snack bags and money-counting 💵, and a science activity on absorbency at the pool. 🧽

✍️ 🖼️ Students illustrated and wrote about their favorite part of Summer SOAR as another academically engaging activity!

🧘‍♀️ We also completed our mindfulness books, adding additional illustrations, writing inserts, and thoughtful reflections.

😮‍💨 Students learned about a variety of breathing strategies, how to solve problems, resolve conflicts appropriately, and the importance of building healthy friendships and relationships.

🍨 I almost forgot we celebrated an amazing summer with ice cream sundaes and homemade pepperoni rolls, courtesy of our incredible SOAR cook, Melissa Strickland! 🧑‍🍳 🥖

It was truly the best last week EVER — and an unforgettable summer. 🥰

THANK YOU to everyone who made it special! 💛

Thank you to the parents for allowing us to spend the summer with your kids — they are great! 💛
