DePelchin’s Children Center: Having some fun
Depelchin’s is a refuge center for teens and children from troubled families. Rice has a longstanding relationship with the center and its children. This year, we will focus on mentoring teens ages 13-17. Activities will range from 3-on-3 basketball games, dancing lessons, and etc. The visits will occur every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. Nov 12. Dec 10 contact tam@rice.edu for rides to the center

School Skits: Time to shine
For the fun and creative: a group will go around and perform either a skit or song/dance with a moral message such as “saying no to drugs”, “stay in school”, “never give up” or any other advice you knew when you were a kid!
