Outcome #4: By 9/30/2012, 75% of Club parents/guardians will take an active role in their <br /> child's activities at the Club. Baseline: 2011-2012 parent/guardian attendance/participation at <br /> Club events. <br /> Goal Met <br /> Parental involvement at the club this past year has been exceptional and especially during the <br /> 4th quarter. During this time we transitioned from our summer program into our after-school <br /> program. The transition period is filled with orientations, paperwork and many questions which <br /> can be daunting for many parents. The orientations we held had around 25-30 parents each <br /> night. Over the course of the past year we have created a strong understanding of expectations <br /> when it comes to registering/enrolling children in our programs. Being upfront and forthcoming <br /> with our parents from the start has been beneficial for both parties because it eliminates many <br /> questions and concerns. <br /> At the end of our summer program we held a family night to celebrate the achievements of the <br /> kids. Our family nights have been a huge success with great turnouts. At this particular family <br /> night we had over 65 parents and family members which do not include the kids. We usually <br /> provide hotdogs/hamburgers and drinks while many parents bring a side dish. There is always <br /> music, games and activities followed by performances from our kids. During this family night we <br /> honored our BGC Olympic winners and artists. <br /> Each summer we have two families from Russia who attend the club. They are very grateful for <br /> the program that we provide. This past summer one of the dads filmed many of our activities <br /> and created a 15 minute video at the end of the summer. The time and detail that went into the <br /> video was enormous and we could not have asked for a better gift to remember the summer. <br /> Boys & Girls Clubs of Indian River County <br /> FELLSMERE CLUB <br /> - Grant: $14,813 <br /> - Funds Used as of 9/30/12: $ 14,813 <br /> - Total Children Served as of 9/30/12: 235 Registered members <br /> Taxonomy Number: PS-980.100 Boys/Girls Clubs <br /> Focus Areas Addressed: CHILDCARE/CHILD HEALTH & EDUCATION <br /> Program Description: This program is designed to: Support the creation of after-school <br /> programs that enrich a child's learning environment, by offering a curriculum that includes: <br /> homework assistance, tutoring, life skills training, and other enrichment programs. <br /> Priority Need Area Addressed: 2 - Childcare/Child Health & Education: Support of after-school <br /> programs that enrich a child's learning environment, by offering a curriculum that includes: <br /> homework assistance, tutoring, life skills training, and other enrichment programs. 5 - Drug <br /> Abuse Prevention: Increase drug and alcohol abuse prevention program aimed at the <br /> elementary and secondary populations. <br /> Collaboration: School District of Indian River County; Habitat for Humanity; RCMA; Fellsmere <br /> Police Dept; Fellsmere Community Enrichment Program. <br /> - 13 - <br /> 48 <br />
