SUMMER RECYOUTH!

Believe it or not, the summer programming at the CRC at Hamilton Fish Park is winding down. August 16th is our last day!

We’ve done some great projects this summer, from creating animation using computers to creating a Hamilton Fish Park Blog focusing on the Basketball program and the swimming program at Hamilton Fish Park.

The teens we recruited from Henry Street Settlement are extremely talented and capable and they’ve learned lots about using computers to create news, animations,
illustrations, stories, photography, narrative film, and music videos. Some of them may be around this fall to work with younger people and we are excited about their projects. Thanks to each and every one of them.

To see some of their projects check back in a week or two as we finish our hamfishsummer07 blog!

POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY - Friday, April 27th

ASP Kids write poems, about spring, and other things...

POVERTY BUM

LINDA D, Age 11

They are on the street
Every day of the week can’t read or write or fight they are probably on drugs and dress like thugs he
Is on his knees' begging me,
Please leave me some change
I won’t be filled with range
That’s the least you can do,
Or my life is through
I’m a helpless bum
And many call me dumb,
They punch me in my face
Then spray me with mace
I don’t want your keys,
Or your sneakers called the 3’s
Just help me please,
I don’t want to be labeled a POVERTY BUM,
Ill be called my name and have no game, I wont be a shame of the blame
That people say I do but THANK YOU

The Girl!!

KATHY P, Age 11

There once was a girl who went to the beach
then sat on a bottle of bleach
while eating a pieach.
One day
she went to preach
and started to screech!
Each of her students ran out to teach,
and tried to find a leach.

THE QUEEN AND THE SKY

GABBY M, age 9

The sky sings a song on a sunny day at
the nice queen.
But she says she doesn't like it.

It's Spring at Hamilton Fish Park

The season is upon us. Check out the stuff going on at Hamilton Fish Park and some of the pictures the kids, and your CRC coordinator, have been taking!
