Rockstar #4 – Meet Matthew

March 14, 2024

Day four of our 10 day blog post series featuring the rockstars that recently participated in the GiGi Prep and Achievers programs bring us to this handsome fella.

Please meet, Matthew!

Matthew comes from an hour and a half away to join in the fun and purposeful programming here at GiGi’s Playhouse, Quad Cities.  Matthew works at Billy’s Furniture out in Macomb.

Matthew’s favorite lesson this session was learning to make no-sew fleece projects, specifically the blanket.  A fun fact about Matthew is he is beyond excited to go to his first Night to Shine next year. Matthew is also a die-hard Cubs fan and enjoys learning about farming and weather. Matthew says his favorite program at GiGi’s Playhouse is the Coffee Club (Adult Group Speech) where he is an active participant.

#BestofAll

Matthew was given the Positive Attitude award, for always being ready to try new things and take part in all the action.
