Brandon recording attendance as the boys pick up their membership cards
Finding their seats (note the wonderful artwork on the chalkboard)
Yeah, his actually name is Coolboy .... and his nickname is “Kula”
So, none of my leaders showed up for club ... but thank goodness for amazing PGC leaders who were willing to step in and help!!
Brandon going over the year plan with the boys
Some of the boys helping to hand out paper for the project
We all made a basic airplane design together first and then did some target practice
They had a lot of fun with this
Then we had them come up one at a time to try and hit the target. Look at all of their faces in this picture. Priceless.
Estrays making his attempt
None of the boys hit the target from the initial distance, so we scooted the desk closer :)
John was the winner (he really was excited, even though the photo doesn't show it :)
Hendrick and Jan showing off their planes
Having our go at it with our second airplane design
And to think I wasn't sure how well it would go over doing paper airplanes with these guys!
Handing out some decals for the planes
Rachel and her leaders having their first meeting with the newly elected PGC Student Coucil
Rachel had the Student Council help her prepare for her PGC Junior meeting on Thursday

Grade 7 girls from 3 different primary schools are combined at PGC Junior
There are 44 girls altogether
Rachel will have 6 teacher leaders helping her out ... 2 from each school
Rachel rearranged the seating of the girls so that they had to meet new girls
The teachers refreshing their memory as to how to do the friendship bracelet
The girls partnered up to braid friendship bracelets
The leaders were very good at getting involved and helping out right away
Good teamwork between two of the girls
I just love the look on this girl's face :)
This is the room where the club is being held every week
Some of the girls braided too much and ended up with necklaces
