Boys and Girls Club : June 10, 2019

Posted by kimr on

This morning Ms. Kim guided the children at the The Boys & Girls Clubs of Cooke County, Inc in building zip lines. The challenge required them to get their animal from point a to point b while keeping the animal from falling out. The animal could also not be taped in. The kids were so creative. #CCLstem #CCLcommunityoutreach #stem
