We launched our "Mission Impossible" summer theme on Monday with a game a battleship in the pool that included canoes and water balloons! Of course, there was no shortage of rogue water balloons launched towards individuals and not boats.
Wednesday, the residents departed campus following lunch for our first of many community service days throughout the Kansas City metro area. In the evening we celebrated our long anticipated Sheltie Awards.
A few months back the kids were divided into co-ed groups with the instructions to create a short film in the spirit of the Oscars. Each team was assigned a movie genre from action to romance. The project culminated with a formal dinner on campus followed by the movie premieres in the gymnasium. Staff and kids alike dressed up and a limo was even provided to transport the kids from the Dining Hall to the gym. Following the viewing of the films, awards were presented in the areas of Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Film, and Best Director. The sound of enthusiastic applause and cheer echoed in the gym. It was nicely done and enjoyed by all!!
Summer school will break the first two weeks of July for our annual house trips and then resume session through mid-August.
