Guest Teacher Shares Her Culture with SAS

Yen Yea H., Direct Support Professional at West Adams, shared her love of cooking with us as guest teacher at a recent cooking class.  Native to Liberia, Yen Yea taught us to make Sweet Potato Leaf Soup.  We were able to try some new ingredients and techniques and learn a bit about Liberia too.
A great big THANK YOU to Yen Yea for sharing your time and talent with us.  It was a real treat!

If you would like the directions for Sweet Potato Leaf Soup send Angela an email (it will be easier for me to send it to you as an attachment than to retype it here). curtisa@emmaushomes.org

If you would like to be a guest teacher, mention it to any one of us at SAS!

Fall Festival is this Saturday!

Fall Fun: Scavenger Hunt

Volunteer Pete E. suggested we take advantage of our beautiful campus with another scavenger hunt.  Competition was fierce with a tie for First Place between two teams, self-named "The Winners" and "Westgreen".

"The Winnners", who named themselves this before the hunt even started!

"Westgreen" tied for First Place by finding every single item on the list as well as a "most interesting item" which included mushrooms and a snowman (The Winners).

Part of the Scavenger Hunt was to find a scarecrow and get a team picture with him.

Lola B. is pictured with Morgan, one of two St. Charles High Key Club members who gave us their helping hands.

The Scavenger Hunt was not a race however Greenbough Team completed it the fastest in less than twenty minutes!

The orange flower could be found in front of Garvin Cottage.

Members of the two First Place teams received a flashlight and all other 'hunters' took home a soda.

Thank you for the ideas and props, Pete!
