2013 Cheer Buddies Banquet
The Cypress Bay Cheer Squad and the Cheer Buddies held their yearly baquet at Weston Hills Country Club. They celebrated their accomplishments and said goodbye to the Senior class, awards were given out and comical “Superlatives.” All the students had a wonderful time and dressed to impress. We cannot wait to see the squad for the up and coming year. Thanks for the great memories team!
Orientation for Dan Marino Summer STEPS Program
The HDS Foundation staff attended Orientation for the Dan Marino Foundation Summer STEPS Internship Program this week. HDS is a new partner for the Dan Marino Foundation, and will be a summer job site for a small group of interns. As part of the Foundation’s long term plans, a software testing training program is being contemplated for this summer. As the interns do not have much technical background, some of the activities will be foundational, and they will be provided specific tasks addressing data integrity and basic testing principles. During the orientation, the DMF staff including Director Kerri Morse, met with inters, families, and job coaches to help set up programs to help the students to succeed in finding jobs and other skills to better themselves. The DMF Summer Steps Internship Program runs for 8 weeks from June to August.
Cypress Bay High School ESE End of the Year Brunch
As the school year comes to an end, the Cypress Bay High School students were able to put their skills into practice at the end of the year luncheon. Students, teachers, members from the ESE department, and employers were all present as the students spoke about what they had learned. The students created PowerPoints and highlighted their experiences and accomplishments of the year. They showed off what they had learned from the HDS Foundation classes and impressed everyone. Students also showed off their cooking skills and made all the guest a brunch fit for a king with eggs, bacon, and other tasty breakfast treats. Thank you to Dr. Sheryl Sugerman for inviting us to your event. And especially to Maria, Brian Jose and AJ who have shared this great year with us at the HDS Foundation! Have a great summer!
Autism Day: The Marlins VS The Phillies
1st Visit to Artserve
The HDS Foundation Team did a presentation on software testing for dozens of STEPS Program Participants. Our staff presented plans for a summer internship program which was currently in the works with the Dan Marino Foundation STEPS Program staff. We had the opportunity to meet many young men and women, talk about the company, what software can do, and why there is a need for software testing. The kids of the Dan Marino Foundation STEPs Program visit the Artserve facility after school in Fort Lauderdale, where they participate in many activities to prepare them for the workplace. There were several individuals who expressed an interest in continuing their education and specifically into technology. The HDS Foundation, along with Housing and Development Software is looking to start a Summer Program similar to its year-round School Mentoring Program. Our 3 year old partnership with the Cypress Bay High School ESE Department and Facilitators has been a successful program, but is only run during the school year. The STEPS Program is funded by the Children’s Council of Florida.
