Brenda‘s House is a re-housing program with a sheltering component aimed at moving families toward independence and their own sustainable housing. The Treasure Trunk program, presented by the JLC at Brenda’s House, targets key issues of nutrition and healthy eating, literacy, music and movement, and the arts. We offer developmentally appropriate, themed activities for the various ages of children who may be in residence during our twice-monthly sessions.
Our fourth Treasure Trunk session of this season was delivered on November 9 with Babies in the Story (BITS), Kids in Motion & Music (KIMM), and Kids in the Arts (KARTS). Twelve children and four babies were in attendance. The night was filled with great stories, lively activities and a craft that really got the children's creative juices flowing.
BITS - Jodie Bereznay, with the help of Christina Murez, led moms and babies through an evening of songs and stories. Each child left with a bag that included a puppet book and other reading materials.
KIMM - Emily Roback lead an exciting night of KIMM. The limbo stick was a huge hit and the children danced and sang and passed the bean bag. Everyone had a blast and could have kept going longer but.... the KARTS craft was more than they could resist.
Melanie Tewksbury guided the children through creating their very own ocean scene port-hole. This craft was made from everyday supplies that may be around the house. Everyone was covered in glue and marker by the evening's end but the smiling faces made the clean-up a joy.
PLEASE sign up to be a part of this terrific program! The remaining eight sessions of Treasure Trunk for this program year will be delivered at the Brenda’s House facility located in the SW neighbourhood of Killarney in Calgary.
