Cool Clubs at Taylor Mountain!

Richelle Andrae, AmeriCorps VIP at Taylor Mountain

This month at Taylor Mountain, we are planning lots of learning, and plenty of fun! Clubs on Friday, January 7th were a great success. We began practicing for Cool Sports: Basketball, which has 32 students extremely excited! So excited, in fact, that they are willing to put in the time and energy to run lines, and repeatedly practice passing and dribbling drills to get ready for the big event at the end of February.

We also had a Flamenco club, wherein students learned about traditional Spanish dancing, and even got to try out a few moves themselves.

Students in the Tea Party club made their very own tea bags by mixing a variety of spices and dried fruit, and also made crowns as they learned about English customs.

Harry Potter club was especially fun. Thanks to the acquisition of the magical sorting hat, students were sorted into different houses according to Harry Potter tradition. They also played Harry Potter Jeopardy, and are looking forward to learning how to play Quidditch!

We invite visitors to come check out clubs throughout the month to experience the magic of Taylor Mountain first hand!
