When the program coordinator and Ms Becca our Kids Club leader were discussing the plans for the new session, Ms Becca said, \u201cI think for the first meeting we\u2019re going to keep it kind of low key so everyone can get to know each other. It\u2019s really important to do that sort of thing before we jump in for the session.\u201d We couldn\u2019t agree more. The participants ages 8-12 are right at the part in their lives where they\u2019re doing a lot more independently and learning about who they are. Ms Becca really does allow for the participants to get to know each other and form that special bond so it\u2019s more like a \u201cclub\u201d than a program.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20321 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/detroit\/files\/2022\/03\/Detroit-Blog-Pic-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/detroit\/files\/2022\/03\/Detroit-Blog-Pic-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/detroit\/files\/2022\/03\/Detroit-Blog-Pic-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/detroit\/files\/2022\/03\/Detroit-Blog-Pic-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/detroit\/files\/2022\/03\/Detroit-Blog-Pic-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gigisplayhouse.org\/detroit\/files\/2022\/03\/Detroit-Blog-Pic-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Message from our program leader Becca: I think my favorite part of our Kids Club group is the friendships the kids are developing.
