Our new media lab has been running for a few months now, and just recently, we were outfitted with new MACS. We're trying to get the ol' Adobe programs running on them, but for now they have Word. The Catch Da Flava Environmental issue is still in the process of being printed, but we are already working on new ideas for the next issue, which will hopefully come out in the summer, after the Luminato festival. It will be a special Luminato-based issue, with a strong emphasis on the arts and its connection with multiculturalism.

Hi, my name is Fazeela and I am one of the students in the Divas girls program and I am in grade 8 and I go to Lord Dufferin Public School. Here at the diva girls’ program we support each other and share are ideas. Diva girls is all about learning new things and having fun. At the Divas girls program we do different activities every week, and each activity has a lesson to it. Like one of the previous activity that we did, was based on our community witch made me realize how lucky I am to have a great and giving community. Another week at the dive girls we had a guess come in and teach us about healthy living. She also thought us what we need to live a clean and healthy life.

Lesson: Healthy Eating/Cooking Hey my name is Alyssa, I’m a placement student from George Brown College, and one of the programs I had to run was the Healthy Eating & Cooking class. On April 1, 2011, the staff and the placement students took the kids’ to the community center to use the kitchen to make smoothie & mini pizza. We divided the girls’ into three groups to make the mini pizza by vegetarian pizza, pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza. The girls’ took turn to share the toppings; next, while the mini pizza was cooking, I started to make the strawberry & banana smoothie for the girls’ to drink while they are eating the pizza they created. The program went good, all the girls’ who participated in the activities enjoyed the program we held for them on April 1, 2011. They learned by eating a variety of foods and a balanced diet is one that includes all the food groups. In other words, have foods from every color, ever day.
