Happy
Spring everyone! As we step into the 2nd Quarter of the year I am
grateful that we can take a moment to step back and look at the
progress we have made as an agency. This month we celebrate our 35th
year of quality service. I am amazed and humbled by the progress,
strides and consistent road of excellence that we have been on since
1983. The road has not always been easy to say in the least. We have
experienced many bumps along the way however Sesame Flyers stays the
course and continues to be a leader in our industry. |

Briana Bryan is an Instructor as well as an Activity Specialist for elementary school participants at the Bildersee Beacon I.S.68 site. Her exuberant, authoritative and nurturing personality makes her approachable yet respected among staff and student participants. Briana has shown improvement throughout her tenure as she is receptive to constructive criticism and places the needs of her participants above her own. She uses her diverse set of skills to create an engaging and dynamic environment for participants. Participants gravitate to her because of her compassion, patience and ability to identify and address their needs and concerns in an objective and empathic manner. Among staff, Briana’s sense of humor and natural exuberance provides comic relief after long challenging days of work. Although she is one of the youngest members of the team, Briana has demonstrated maturity beyond her years, and is often tasked with keeping the participants in line so that the program can continue to operate efficiently. She is a very valuable member of The Vault and we look forward to watching her grow within the organization.
Congratulations Briana! |

Sesame
Flyers in collaboration with Super Mamma Birth Services hosted a
Community Baby Shower to support our newest mommies to be in the
community. We have many women in the community who have a little
blessing on the way that don't know where or how they will get
everything they need for themselves and their baby. At event the
mommies to be won raffles prizes ranging from playpens, cribs and
baby tub sets. We also played fun baby shower games and gave each
woman an extensive care package. Mini-seminars on topics such as
breastfeeding, nutrition in pregnancy, staying grounded in labor,
and infant care 101 were also taught. The event was a huge success
and we look forward to hosting more in the future! |

To kick off 2018 Sesame Flyers hosted our very first Sip and Paint event, and it was huge success. A Sip and Paint event is an evening where people come to create a painting they can take home and also enjoy a little bubbly while doing so. We invited a local artist, Latifah Shadae to be our artist for the evening. We filled the Clubhouse with people from the community excited to create a painting all their own.
The theme
of the event was Tupac. All of our guests left with a one of a kind
portrait of Tupac to call their own. In addition we had 3
performances as well. We look forward to hosting more Sip and Paint
events this year and hope to see you at one real soon. |

On a fresh crisp Saturday morning in March, Sesame Flyers in partnership with University Settlement and the Sports and Art Program hosted “It’s Never too Late to Educate Luncheon” in honor of the people in our community who are learning English as a second language as well as those working towards getting their GED. This was the first time this has even been done and the participants felt honored in this special ceremony. All participants left with special recognition certificates and enjoyed. We also honored the teachers of the program as in the picture above. *Due to some of the participants religious practices they kindly asked that photos not be taken.

The following students among the other amazing children we serve are very creative in their approach to art. We aim to cultivate innovation, creativity and vision. These art pieces serve as a reminder that art is important for children’s intrinsic self-value, as it promotes life skills that will be essential in their academic, social and personal growth.
