Run, Run, As Fast As You Can!
Run, Run, as fast as you can! You can’t catch me…I’m the Gingerbread Man! Schools choose a theme for each motivational event, and this event presented by Strathern School was a tremendous success! Come with us to see an interactive play of the story. Parents, teachers, and children were all involved. Students each made a Gingerbread Man stick puppet to wave during the play. (I do hope that Gingerbread Man got away).

AKA Sorority Sponsors Event for Children in Inglewood
On November 19, 2011, 35-40 children and their parents enjoyed a day filled with arts and crafts, storytelling, singing songs, puppetry, and creating artwork for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. This annual event, hosted by Theta Mu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at the Inglewood Public Library, concluded with Sorority members reading books to the children, children reading books to the group, and families selecting 3 books, donated by Reading Is Fundamental of Southern California, to take home to keep for their home library. Remaining books were donated to the “Hillsides” facility in Pasadena, CA, an agency that shelters foster children and children whose parents are incarcerated.
