Happy House is proud to announce the formation of its second chapter in Thousand Oaks, CA. The first delivery of the Good Choices program was done at the Los Cerritos Boys & Girls Club of Thousand Oaks. The delivery of the program started on Friday June 25th for an hour in the morning and continued each Friday until August 6th.
Twenty-two children graduated the program and were presented with their certificates by Nancy Cartwright, during a graduation event on August 11th. Over 80 people were present to watch these children graduate and all of the students and attendees were surprised with autographed Bart Simpson book marks.
The children were very excited about meeting Nancy and having completed the program. The Director of the Boys & Girls Club expressed her appreciation for the work that was done with these children and has expressed her interested in having the program continue during the school year.
The Director was given a special recognition certificate by Nancy along with a bouquet of flowers. She was quoted saying, “I have seen the children really excited about the program and actually use the chart that shows them the degree of Good and Bad choices they can make. I plan to post that chart and use it during the school year. Our kids are amazing and have been very excited about the classes. The kids are really good but they have stepped up even more on helping each other out. We have a severely autistic child here and several of the kids that have been part of the Good Choices class have taken it on to really get to know her and make sure where she’s where she’s supposed to be, etc. The kids love the program and have been really excited attending the classes every Friday.”
Welcome to the Happy House family to all new members of the Thousand Oaks Chapter.
