I assisted the director of the program, Mr. Victoria, in the office during the five weeks that the program was going on. My job entailed taking attendance every day, running the snack shop from which the children bought snacks and setting up lunch. I also put together the weekly newsletter and was responsible for translating the newsletter to Spanish so that students could share what they did that week with their parents. During the breaks and lunch I would help keep an eye on the students and I got to play with them. Many of those students had issues at home, but by having programs such as Peninsula Bridge, they were given the opportunity to get away from those issues for a few weeks. My assistance in the office helped the program run much smoother because Mr. Victoria was free to walk around more often and attend to various issues. The program helped the children advance their skills in English and Math. Low income students are often not given these opportunities, but the program allowed them to enter the school year feeling prepared and ready to advance.
