Our Teen members continue to participate in the Career Launch program offered by Mid-State Technical College. We will have activities planned for this program at our site on Wednesdays.

The 4th & 5th grade members have established a daily routine with our BookNook program. Keep up the great work.

Upcoming Programs and Activities:

BookNook, Career Launch, foreign language, science experiments, career, and culture. Our Site is super excited to announce that we have been chosen to participate in a NASA challenge. The program is scheduled to begin at the end of January.

Virtual Learning Challenges? We can Help!

Our Club staff are available to help your child(ren) with their virtual learning. We will be offering assistance in the areas of: Math, Social Studies, Science, Reading/Spelling, Mentoring, and Physical activity

from 9 am – 2 pm, Monday through Friday.

Staff will spend 25 minutes assisting your child, but you must book your appointment at least one hour ahead of time. Once your appointment is booked, you will receive a confirmation email with the link for the virtual session.

Our staff cannot take the place of teachers, but we can help keep your child focus, field questions, and help with the challenges of virtual learning. Please visit bgcwra.org to reserve a time slot today!

Keeping our Members Warm

If your member(s) is/are in need of winter clothing, we have a variety of sizes available. All of our gently used apparel has been professionally dry cleaned. Please contact Ms. Sue at the Club at 715.424.2582 or email her at sjackan@bgcwra.org if you are interested. All requests will remain anonymous.

Mission
