Geography Gives Direction …
Friday, March 10, was a challenging day for third and fourth graders at NOC’s New Oaks Learning Center. As an activity of NOC’s Enrichment Program, the children worked on an interactive lesson — “This State of Mine” — that was put together by Martha Sharma, a retired geography educator. The lesson was led by NOC’s Director, Julie Palma, who used technology to guide the students through this lesson. Students worked individually and in teams to tackle various questions that required use of the websites and some basic principles in geography. The children used words such as “Location” and “Direction” to develop a mental map of the United States. They also used their personal computers to collect additional information about selected states.
Beginning Business Class Successful
NOC had a successful beginning business class led by Ken, our adult program volunteer. Participants learned the basics of starting a business. Ken engaged participants in a conversation about the importance of having the right mindset or entrepreneurial spirit, as well as the importance of understanding the different legal structures for business entities. He also introduced participants to the basics of business planning.
Ken has been instrumental in designing financial and business classes for the NOC community. We extend our thanks to participants and Ken for supporting NOC.
NOC 2022 Connection Festival: Highly Successful
Sunday, November 13, was an amazing day for NOC. It was perfect for celebration, with a clear blue sky and brisk temperature. More than 400 people from all walks of life enjoyed a variety of food, dancing, music, and other activities in celebration of the NOC community. So many talented and generous people offered their time, resources, and support to make sure the event was successful.
One of the benefits of this program was that it contributed to better understanding and relationships among working families and neighbors. Funds generated from this program will support NOC’s flagship education program to help children excel academically.
