Apprentice Level News

Turning Play into Therapy

BounceU is known for being a fun place to be a kid! It is no exception with our Novice and Apprentice students. Our students travel to the Westheimer location weekly/bi-weekly to utilize the gymnasium and equipment for an hour session. The owners of Houston West BounceU generously provide use of the facility at no charge.

This relationship was developed several years ago and continues to grow. The effect these sessions have on our kids is terrific. Dr. Debrah Hall, program director for the Novice-Apprentice level, sees the students gaining body awareness through intensive movement. Many thanks to the owners of Houston West BounceU for their commitment to the health of our young students!

Apprentice Students Serve the Community

Throughout the 2009-2010 school year, the Apprentice level students will participate in a variety of community service projects to increase their awareness of the needs of others in their community. Following “The LEAGUE” initiatives students will participate in lessons and various hands on activities, including:

• In November and April we will work with a neighboring food bank, Fair Haven Food Pantry by sponsoring a food drive.
  

• In December we will sponsor a hat, mitten, or coat drive for Star of Hope Mission.
  

• In March we will collect baby items to donate to SEARCH.
