"It's a House"
|
The Dolphins created this masterpiece called "It's a House." It's a combination of paint on canvas and crayon, oil pastel, and chalk on paper. We were selected among 1000 submissions and won a cash prize of $100 for this piece of work! This artwork will be on display with CARF for the next year. |  |
Updates from the Rainmakers
Hi, we’re the Rainmakers! We are an all-men’s group at Outside the Box. We go on outings to places like the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Trader’s Point Creamery and the toy museum.
Some of our favorite things to do at OTB are listening to music, eating lunch together, doing cooking classes and dance classes, playing Uno and reading books and magazines.
Last week, we learned about volunteering and how Keep Indianapolis Beautiful makes the city look nice. We went to a community vegetable and flower garden and pulled weeds for Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. Jenny from KIB showed us which weeds to pull so we wouldn’t accidentally pull vegetables and flowers. All the OTB groups went together--the Dolphins, Rainmakers, Icicles, Dreamers and Celebrities. Our leaders were Aaron, Melanie, Andrew, Stella, Kimberly and Ian. Jenny took a picture of us with the painting we made for KIB and said thank you to us for the painting of the tree. We all signed the back of the painting. She also brought us water, shovels, buckets and gloves for working. It was a hot day and we all got sweaty, so we drank a lot of water and had fun. Afterward, we went to Holliday Park to eat lunch together.
This month, we learned about Independence Day, the history of the United States of America, Guatemala (a country in Central America), volunteering and Indianapolis. We really enjoyed learning about Indianapolis and made a collage of what we like about Indianapolis. We put on the collage the Broad Ripple Art Fair, the Children’s Museum, the IMA, the Indianapolis Zoo, the Indiana State Museum, the Indiana State Fair, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Eiteljorg, downtown Indianapolis, farmers’ markets, Monument Circle, Conner Prairie, concerts, restaurants and food.
What are the Celebrities up to?
 | Read on to find out what the Celebrities had fun doing in June, what they're looking forward to in July and what they learned about Guatemala this week!  |
| In July, I enjoyed going to the 4th of July parade. Actually, it was the 5th, but I liked saying hi to Mrs. Indiana, and I enjoyed seeing the girls in their pretty outfits. I also look forward to going to The Children’s Museum and seeing the Barbie exhibit. In June I enjoyed and I had fun doing a lot of trips. I enjoyed going to Conner Prairie and I enjoyed when we went window shopping on the Monon with Megan. I learned about Guatemala. I learned about their culture and their holidays and their religion, and I liked things that Kimberly brought from Guatemala. I look forward to dance class and cooking class, and I hope we go to the State Fair in August. I really want to go there, and I look forward to camp. -Becky Robinson |  |

I'm excited to go swimming at Broad Ripple Park this week. -Erin Schrock |
 | I am excited about going to our outings in July. We are going to The Children’s Museum on July 23rd. I got to go see the fireworks on July 4th with my friends from church. I can’t wait to go to the pool and get a tan. I am also excited about the Indiana State Fair in August. |  | In June, the Celebrities visited Conner Prairie. We took my wheelchair, but it was bumpy riding around the park. I'm very excited to go swimming at Broad Ripple Park and to The Children's Museum in July. I also had a lot of fun in dance class, and I'm excited for more dance classes |
