Welcome to post #43 of Club at Home! Every day, we share content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. Our goal is to provide the same fun and educational activities to our Club members and families, even while Clubs are physically closed.
Today, we check in with staff from our Clubs who share different activities for members across all age groups, including magazine art, homemade pickles, LEGOs, Theatre Thursday, Pokémon, and 3D printing.
Beginning this month, every BPS family will receive financial assistance for food under a program called Pandemic EBT (P-EBT). For more details, click here.
