Opp Project LLC

Celebrating the end of the year with Ms. Lewallen's Japanese Club at Celia Clinton Elementary! This year, some of the things students in the Japanese Club learned were ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), kokeshi dolls, how to write/say thank you in Japanese, Ukiyo-e art (which uses stamps to make a picture), hanami (flower viewing), the koinobori used for Children’s Day celebrations, uchiwa fans, how to use chopsticks, and origami.

Last month, students tried the Tabata method in the Iron Knights Strength and Conditioning Club with Kevin Cline!

After bench pressing to warm up, youth in Iron Knights club took turns engaging in a high-intensity interval training method (HIIT) consisting of 20 seconds of all-out, maximum-effort exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. This cycle is repeated 8 times and is called the Tabata method!

Did you know that we just celebrated our 9th birthday?! 🥳

To celebrate, we’re looking for 9 people to celebrate in a big way—by becoming recurring donors to The Opp. Just $25/month = one hour of afterschool programming. You could be one of the 9!
