Dear Parents,

Welcome back to our third week of great fun with future stars camp! This week we celebrated our patriotic country with our stars and stripes theme. The campers showed their proud country's colors of red, white and blue!
<div></div>
<div>During our science period, the Hawks have worked with pulleys, learning about weight transfer and differences in elevation techniques. Isabella, Caroline and Rebecca created a home-made pulley system to lift pennies up and down in a plastic bag out of paper, tape and rulers.</div>
<div></div>
<div>In this weeks exciting Hollywood expedition, the Hawks filmed their own versions of a news channels. Erica, Samantha, Cecilia, Cooper and Brinda's group consists of creating segments with sports, weather, new products and breaking news in today's world!</div>
<div></div>
<div>We had a lot of improvements in this week's swimming adventures. Gianna and Ryann have improved their freestyle swimming stroke tremendously. Some campers have even been able to move up into the deep end from the shallow end because of their progress.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Our art classes have been filled with red, white and blue crafts, including wearable visors and usable crafty picture frames. Sophia and Talia also created multiple gimp bracelets for other campers.</div>
<div></div>
<div>During sports this week, the Hawks participated in a new game called Q-tip ball, where campers use Q-tip looking sticks to score balls in goals. Ryan and Eric showed great sportsmanship making great passes and scoring goals! Grace and Gianna made some great kicks during our kickball game to help their team win.</div>
<div></div>
<div>We have enjoyed working with your campers this week and hope to have just as much or even more fun these remaining 6 weeks of future stars day camp!</div>
<div>David, Christina and Dylan</div>

Dear Parents,

<strong> </strong>

<strong> </strong>

<strong> </strong>

<strong>
<div>This week we celebrated go-green week, and had lots of fun activities relating to the environment. In science, Cooper, Kate, and Johnathon loved learning about properites of water. They also learned about pollution, which Alice seemed to know lots about. In art, we created nature collages that Brinda, Sophia and Caroline did beautfully. This week in Hollywood the campers made music videos to Just Dance, Poker Face, and Party In The USA.  Colby, Rylee and Ryann helped make the great dances. We worked on diving and freestyle swimming in pool, and we have some natural divers like Talia and Gianna. Kyle and Erica loved playing kickball  in sport, and Anna and Grace had fun with the combined Gopher/Eagle and Hawk free gym. Cecilia and Sarah had fun, like always, in computers this week. Overall we had a great week, having fun and making friends.</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div>Cristina, Rebecca, and Dylan</div>

<div dir="ltr">The first week of camp was a great start to the summer here at Future Stars! Our first theme of the week was Dr. Suess week, and our campers had a lot of fun reading Dr.Suess books and making cheers that rhyme! On Tuesday, we made a cheer for Cheer Day and we won the spirit stick! In Science, we read Dr.Suess’s book, <em>Bartholemew and the Oobleck</em> and we made our own oobleck to play with. Colby, Ryann, and Cooper had a great time sticking their hands in the slimy oobleck. We played soccer this week in sport and Mikayla, Rylee, Grace, and Brinda really showed off their skills! Genevieve, Cecilia, Olivia, and Anna had a great time in pool learning and perfecting their free style swim. In Hollywood this week, we wrote our own Dr. Suess play and Alice, Sophia, and Rebecca had a wonderful time writing and acting out their own plays. Gianna and Jonathan loved art this week, finger painting and making hats. All together, this first week of camp was a success for the Hawks and every camper really enjoyed themselves. We hope to see everyone back for another fun filled week of Future Stars!</div>
