With it being election year, SAFE BASE staff thought it only appropriate to dedicate the first session of the after-school program to getting patriotic. SAFE BASE will be Wednesday, Halloween, and the final preparations for the dinner will be made that day.
For the past couple of months students have been learning about presidents’ favorite foods, how to be ready for paparazzi and how to be a White House chef.
On Wednesdays students have had blue-plate dinners, eating foods they prepared earlier in the day.
The meals have all been practice for the big night, Nov. 5, when they have hold a blue-plate special dinner for parents and staff in the Jefferson Elementary gym, in honor of the Nov. 6 general elections.
In addition to having a presidential dinner, a two-man comedy show will put on a show, “The Presidents.”
The group is coming from the Coterie Theatre at Kansas City’s Crown Plaza. The show is funded by the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.
The show will give a brief history of 44 presidents in 45 minutes.
Students also encouraged their parents to register to vote; three did.
