SAN MARCOS, TX, Oct. 14, 2011 – The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Texas will host a “Storybook Parade” Friday, October 28, 2011 from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Children and all book lovers will attend dressed as his or her favorite storybook character.

Storybook Parade is a fun and positive alternative to Halloween that emphasizes the importance of youth literacy. “Our goal is to show that reading is fun and rewarding for all ages. We have worked very hard to provide the community with a day to dress up in a safe and encouraging environment for children,” states Mark A. Terry, Chief Executive Officer of BGCSCT.

Free food and games will be provided for children ages 3 to 12. There will be a “Best in Costume” contest for parade participants. This event is free and open to the public. It will take place at Texas Preparatory School, located at 400 Uhland Rd., in San Marcos.

About the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Texas

The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Texas provides services for youth that reside in Caldwell, Comal, Hays and Guadalupe counties respectively. Our mission is to inspire and enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. For more information about this event or the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Texas, visit us at www.bgcsct.org.

Texas Preparatory School students have traveled to TxU’s H&HP Department Building, Jowers, for P.E. class; have had Texas State H&HP student majors observe classes on-campus(TPS) and perform the statewide PE Fitness assessment, FITNESSGRAM.  Dr. Karen Meaney, Associate Professor, and her team consisting of Dr. Jen Ahrens and Prof. Tammy Rainey, have created an element in which their Texas State H&HP student majors get hands-on experience with elementary aged children.

This program exposes Boys & Girls Club youth to the Texas State University campus and promotes collegiate level achievement from College and Elementary students alike.  The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Central Texas will be looking forward to continuing this relationship through the Summer Months as part of the Summer Academic & Enrichment Program and in the Fall of 2011.

CLUB Members Step their College Game Up @ UT

This Spring has marked a series of College Campus Visits for local CLUB teenagers.  The San Marvelous Heroes and the Keystone Club have visited various College Campuses in the South Central Texas area.  The Step Your College Game Up Tour began late December with St. Edward’s University and since then these youth have visited Texas State University, University of Texas and Texas Lutheran University.

Each college tour is to familiarize TEENS with a college experience that they all can achieve.  The tours expose the CLUB members to college entrance exams, dorm halls and college admissions processes.  For many CLUB members, these trips have been the first time they haved stepped foot onto a College Campus.

The Step Your College Game Up tours ends its last tour at Texas Lutheran University, April 16.  For more information on BGCSCT Teen Services please call Ms. Joanna Garcia @ 512.667.4497.
