After School Matters Student Work In the beginning of this year, we received a phone call from Ms. Sarah Robinson. Well, you may say who is Ms. Sarah Robinson? Ms. Sarah Robinson is a teacher for the “After School Matters” program in Epic Academy. Epic Academy is a Charter High School located at 8255 S. Houston in Chicago.
Ms. Robinson contacted us offering to re-design The Gift House’s web site, as a project for the 15 students of the After School Matters Program. We accepted. It’s being a wonderful journey where we talk back and forth about the details of the new web site.
We applause the After School Matters Program because it accomplish a variety of goals, including meeting children’s needs for safe environments and supervision from caring adults while their parents are working; bolstering academic achievement; providing low- and moderate- income children with enriching activities that prevent risky and self-destructive behaviors; and supporting overall youth development.
We could not imagine the degree of creativity and talent of these kids. They came up with so many good ideas, designs, posters, colors, etc. that to make a decision wasn’t an easy task.
Finally, we got it! And now we are showing their job to the world. This web site is awesome! The Gift House wanted to have a space in our web-site and showcase their work and photos of the gathering with these talented students. We also want to thanks Mr. Matthew King, Principal of Epic Academy, their staff, the parents and of course, Ms. Sarah Robinson who taught, encourage and guided the students to this happy ending.
Excellent Job!!!!
