September Update:

Big thanks to our September workshop leader, Donnette Tyler, who brought all the things for a super fun and creative journal-decorating session.

We had washi tape, scrapbook paper, composition notebooks, Mod Podge, scissors, and so many stickers—positive quotes, flowers, cartoons, letters, sports—you name it, we had it. The girls had everything they needed to make their journals completely their own.

One sweet girl shared that she’s going to use her journal to write poetry and make vision lists for her goals. How awesome is that?

And let’s talk about the snacks… We had Capri Suns, powdered and chocolate donuts, and chocolate chip muffins—a little sugar boost to keep the creativity flowing!

But the best part? The real conversations—raw, honest, hopeful. We talked about dreams, life experiences, and just showed up for each other. That’s why we do what we do—so every girl at The Treasured Protégé knows she matters, and that we’re here to listen and support her.

Already counting down to next month.

August Update:

Our August workshop focused on creating beautiful succulent gardens—and it turned out to be so much more than just planting!

As we worked with our hands, we also engaged in meaningful life discussions, sharing love, encouragement, and heartfelt stories. It was a time of connection and inspiration.

We enjoyed donuts and juice together, adding a sweet touch to a truly special day.

It was a lovely and uplifting time, and a true blessing to be planting seeds of love—both in soil and in each other’s hearts.

January Update:

The January Chicktime SA Westside gathering was a fun and creative sewing activity! While many of us found sewing to be quite the challenge, it didn’t stop us from sharing a few good laughs along the way.

December Update:

As we wrap up the year, we look forward to the holiday season with hearts full of gratitude. Whether rain or shine, the spirit of connection and joy continues to bring us together.

November Update:

The recent Chicktime SA-Westside event at the Treasured Protégé House was a joyous gathering filled with fun, laughter, and a sense of community. As part of the Fall festivities, the girls celebrated one of the resident’s birthdays, enjoying pizza and cake to mark the occasion.

The highlight of the event was a spirited game of Pictionary, which brought out everyone’s creativity and competitive spirit. The game ended in a lively tie, with everyone still guessing what Ms. Lora’s sketches were meant to be—adding even more laughs to the day.

Each Chicktime event offers a meaningful opportunity to witness the girls’ growth as they transition from foster care to more independent lives. Seeing their excitement for the future and how they are thriving is truly inspiring for everyone involved.
