Summer of Service: Week 2


One of the many amazing people I have met at the Boys & Girls Club is Ms. Joy. She just recently joined the staff at the club and is already making huge impact with the kids. She excels with settling disputes between kids and making sure that all of the kids are simultaneously behaving and enjoying themselves. She enjoys playing games with the kids, especially basketball and brings many games and toys for the kids to play with from her home including a jump rope, which all of the girls would play with every moment of the day if they were allowed.
Ms. Joy never gets bored of coming up with new ideas to make the kids’ summers more fun and to improve the Springhill Boys & Girls Club as a whole. She has encouraged the kids at the Boys & Girls club to participate in group dance sessions. Just this past week Ms. Joy implemented a “Summer Olympics” competition for all of the kids to participate in at the beginning and end of the summer.
As her name suggests, the positive and upbeat attitude that Ms. Joy brings to the Spring Boys & Girls Club stems from her children and her own passion. Ms. Joy has three children, all of which attend the Boys & Girls Club. Part of the reason why she goes out of her way to make the kids’ summers for fun and exciting is so that her own kids have a great summer. Ms. Joy’s own passion for helping the kids succeed is another source of her positive attitude towards the club. She is always striving to help the kids improve in everything from their basketball  skills to the way they got along with each other while playing tag. She incorporates the activities that she loves with the Boys & Girls Club so that it is a more fun exciting places for both herself and the children.
