Camp Fundraiser - Garage & Bake Sale Apr 28-29

After School Buddies will be hosting a big indoor-outdoor garage/bake sale this weekend (April 28-29) at 416 NE Greenwood in Bend. We hope to raise $$ to support our summer day camp offered in August. Camp is offered at no cost to our students and we expect a lot of them! Just before the sale the middle school Buddies will be baking delicious goodies to sell. And we will have some amazing hand-made purses to sell from Cambodia too.

ASB will be giving 10% of our proceeds to the Tyler Eklund fund to help with his medical costs after his snowboarding accident. So there are all kinds of great reasons to come and see us - 8:00 am Saturday and 11:00 am on Sunday!

We have LOTS of amazing things to sell so we hope if you read this and live in Bend, that you will come and shop. Help us with this great opportunity to train our teens about the "retail" and "customer service" businesses too!

Perfect Pizzas

The CLC Middle School Buddies perfected the art of making pizzas from scratch. From making hand made dough to the chopping and laying out of the terrific toppings, our Buddies were quite creative with their new art form!

Japanese Day At Buckingham

This week our Buddies were blessed with a day centered around learning about Japan. Three of our teens, Brittany L., Katie & Kelli shared their knowledge of this land and it's culture. From our wonderful Japanese snacks, to our bookmarks with our names written in Japanese, to our fun times acting out the Japanese numbers and our skit complete with masks - it made for a delightful day for all of us! Can you guess who is behind this disguise?

Spring Fling

Luckily there was one week when the weather was good enough to play outdoors. After homework time at Buckingham, we spent a warm April afternoon playing tennis and challenging each other to fast games of "chicken"??? on the parallel bars. Strong arms and agility help if you want to compete with our girls!!!

Easter "Eggstavaganza" - ASB MS!

Our middle school ladies did their best to find the over 175 eggs hid at Char's ranch. Before taking off for our hunt, we shared the story of the Easter and also made our own version of an Easter basket.. well Easter bucket...????'

Both Buckingham Buddies and the Middle School girls made wonderful Rice Krispie Easter Nests which were shared with Cascade View Nursing Home residents.

Buckingham Teens helped make their Little Buddies their own special ASB t-shirts.

More Mad about Math! Bookmarks for Africa

Each year our Buddies spend time doing some kind of fun project to let our friends in Uganda at the Otinowaa Orphange know we love them. This year we made bookmarks with math problems to practice with. There are over 80 orphans now in this orphage. We wish we could visit and get to know our friends in person!

Birthday Buddies; March Math Madness

February was a time to celebrate birthdays - including Kelli's at Buckingham Buddies. March brought us our own version of March Madness - Math Madness that is! A team competition to put together our life sized tan-grams put us all to the test!
