End of School BBQ and Family Fun Center

Happy Summer everyone!!!

Tyler Square and the Family Shelter kids are in the full swing of summer! We just recently had our end of school barbecue to celebrate the the hard work and success of every school child at the Mission. We had a huge barbecue with a live band, cotton candy machine, tons of food, and certificates for every kid who moved on to the next grade. It was great to see all the families come out, support, and celebrate the successes of their children. Also, as an added prize, we took each kid who attained at least a 3.0 GPA over the last trimester (since the last is always the hardest!) to the Family Fun Center in Tukwila. The kids had a great time, as you can tell in the following pictures.

Also, a reminder that our summer program, S.L.A.M. (Students Leading A Mission) will be beginning July 6th and going through the end of July. Please call or contact any of the youth supervisors for more information about this great program. And, lastly, thank you for your continued support of and interest in the Tacoma Rescue Mission's Youth Program!
