A.P.P.L.E. Club Brings Poetry to School Kids

Valley College's Academic People Promoting A Loving Education (A.P.P.L.E.) Club presented "A Mother's Day Poetry Workshop," Saturday in Campus Center room 104. In the picture at right, club adviser La Vergne Rosow works with Dele Fashola on a Mother's Day card.

Children and adults of all ages assisted and guided club members. They provided all attendees with supplies and assistance in creating a personal Mother's Day poem and creating a one of a kind card.

"The club members have purchased things out of their own pockets and we have presented a budget to the Inter-Club Council to see if they could cover the expenses of today's event," club member Eric Rodriguez said.

Around 100 people were expected to attend throughout the day-long learning session, which concluded with a reading ceremony dedicated to the mothers there.

"This is definitely a learning experience, not just for me," Rodriguez said. "But also for the people who showed up to our event."
