February is a special month filled with opportunities to celebrate love, friendship, community, and history. Throughout this month, our afterschool program will focus on loving one another, building strong friendships, and learning about the important contributions of Black leaders and heroes who have helped shape our world. Community & Loving One Another
In our program, we believe that a strong community is built on kindness, respect, and teamwork. During February, students will participate in activities that encourage:
-
Showing kindness to others
-
Helping friends and classmates
-
Using positive words and actions
-
Learning how to work together as a team
We will have group discussions, cooperative games, and reflection activities that help students understand what it means to care for one another and be a good friend.
FRIENDSHIP FOCUS
Friendship is an important part of growing and learning. This month, students will explore:
-
What makes a good friend

How to resolve conflicts peacefully

How to include others and make new friends
Fun friendship-themed crafts, games, and group challenges will help reinforce these skills in a fun and meaningful way.
