Franklin Teen Center

Quote of the Moment...


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is not the darkness that frightens us, but the light."

Teen Center is building this week!




Today people from the Teen Center and from Youth Farm worked together to make garden beds. In the future, we'll have plants and vegetables growing in the beds near the side of the library.

Three teens who participated in the building said:

"The hardest thing about the project was the hammering. No, no, it was making it so there aren't gaps between the pieces of wood."

"The hardest thing was that people they didn't know how to make the hammer work."

"It was cool because we never do work together and for this we actually had to work together or it wouldn't work."

"Some people couldn't hammer it right and that was funny."

"For me the easy part was hitting the nail with the hammer and getting the two pieces of wood to stay together."

Spring Break!

We asked two teen leaders at Franklin, what's your favorite thing about spring break? Here are their answers...

"Nothing."

"Nothing, actually."

As you can see, our teens are very articulate. Tune in next week for more than one word responses :)
