1st Annual BELL Stone Soup Picnic

On Thursday September 18th, 2014 our students and their families had the opportunity to meet with BELL staff and RWC student mentors and academic coaches to feast on delicious stew cooked up by the Co-Director of the BELL Program, Kym. Everyone had a great time! As you'll see below, some of our students even helped out with the ingredients. Please stay tuned for future posts about our experiences here at the BELL Program!

"Yesterday I attended the stone soup dinner. The soup was good! I burned my tongue on the first spoonful, but after it was cooled it was very tasty. I was surprised by the amount of people that showed up and the speech at the end about us all being "ingredients" in this program was interesting as well. The cake was great too since black and red frosting dyed my tongue purple which made for some interesting selfies on the ride home! Overall I had fun and I would do this again."
