WESTMINSTER — The Kurn Hattin Homes children are active playing sports, working with the horses, and trying new activities all across the campus. The wintertime is no exception; the children spend their time after school in extracurricular activities that give not only a time to exercise and play, but also an opportunity to build teamwork skills, develop personal resilience, and practice time management.
On Feb. 13, Kurn Hattin organized a Winter Activities Awards Night to recognize the children who commit to sports, the horse program, and activities on the campus.
Recognition was given to the Co-Ed 3-4 basketball team coached by Houseparent Ginger Cook, the Boys’ 5-6 basketball team coached by Houseparent Clint Plante, the Girls’ 5-6 basketball team coached by Houseparent Meranda Chandler, the Boys 7-8 basketball team coached by Jamie Dansereau Jr., the Girls 7-8 basketball team coached by maintenance staff member Ron Whitcomb, the Winter Horse Program led by Therapeutic Horse Program instructor Sara Stine, and the after-school yoga group led by executive assistant Sonja Carey.
A place of hope since 1894, Kurn Hattin Homes for Children provides a safe home and quality education for boys and girls, ages 5-15, whose families are experiencing a time of personal or financial need. Kurn Hattin Homes is almost entirely funded by private donations. For more information, visit www.kurnhattin.org.
