We really love to laugh here at IMS and one of the ways we do that is by practicing our Improv skills! I find myself laughing so hard at times from something the kids have said or something random they do that I thought to myself, I bet we could channel this into something really great! Having a love and passion for Improv myself before I came to work for Before and After School Care, I decided that we should try an Improv club. Little did I know that it would catch on so fast! We started Improv club last year and it has grown this year to include new 6th graders and we still have some of our eighth graders from last year come back to play with us! It has really created a sense of community and safety. Those who participate keep coming back to learn and play more and those who aren't quite as comfortable yet getting up on stage come to watch! It's a great opportunity to laugh and just let loose and be silly! They loved it so much that when we voted on our monthly field trip the top vote was to go down into Seattle and see a professional show! The best part was that some of our kids even got to go up on stage with the pros and perform! I think we have some future stars on our hands! A big thanks to Comedy Sportz for having us out and to all the kids that come and play with us during Improv club! Check in every week for Ms. Nikki's blogs to see what else we have going on! Have a Happy Thanksgiving and lets keep the laughs coming!
