We had an amazing month of learning! Can you believe that February is right around the corner?

We had a fun SUPER SATURDAY this past weekend at the LaAmistad Community Center! 🎉 We read a book titled 'Snowflake Bentley' written by Jacqueline Briggs Martin about Wilson Alwyn Bentley, (aka Snowflake Bentley) He was an American meteorologist and photographer, who was the first known person to take detailed photographs of snowflakes and record their features. 📖 We enjoyed making paper snowflakes, snow people, pom pom poppers with two of our board members - Wilheem Perez and Brendalee Cranman, our Executive Director, Cat McAfee, and one of our wonderful Parent Liaisons, Ingrid Montenegro.🥰 Thanks to our Volunteer Engagement Coordinator, Shannon Torrance, for the photos.🙏 #LaAmistad #WeareLaAmistad #IamLaAmistad #SuperSaturdays #snowflakebentley #Nonprofit #Afterschoolprogram #WeareLaamistad #IamLaamistad #education #Latinostudents #Latinocommunity #LatinosinAtlanta #Spanish #Hispanic #Atlantaschools #Makeadifference
