Were you the kind of kid who looked forward to summer vacation? Or were you a little more bookish and preferred school?

Well, to celebrate the end of after-school programming, we gathered together and did some survey work with the kids to gather their opinions of the program! Once we finished that up, we had a nice little Jollibee's feast with them to close off one of their last days here before summer program starts up on June 29th!

It was great seeing you all!

What's the value of a Filipino peso? Do you all know kapamilya?

This past week, we learned a little bit about the currency of the Philippines; the peso! The kids were given invoices and between 100-250 fake pesos, and they had to buy what they could, like snacks, markers, books, and toys, using their given amount.

Over the course of this activity, the kids learned about the concept of exchange rates between currencies, like how a single peso, as represented by a 1-centavo coin, is only worth around 0.016 US dollars, or a little over a penny. Meanwhile, a full $1 dollar was around 66-67 pesos!

Are you ready for the end of the school year kapamilya!?

This will be the last week of the after-school program at the Filipino Community of Seattle, with our last day being Friday, June 12. However, this year, our end-of-year celebration will be held on Wednesday, June 10, between 2:30-4:30pm, to accommodate more kids since that is an early release day in Seattle Public Schools.

We will have plenty of food and games for the kids, so even if your kids only came once during the school year, or if they came every day, you are welcome to stop by!

Registration is still open for summer kapamilya!

We still have tons of space for kids to join the Filipino Community of Seattle's 5th Annual Summer Youth Program! Just scan the QR code or go to https://www.filcommsea.org/youth-development and scroll down to the Summer Youth Program, click "Register Today," scroll down again, and you will see the "Summer Field Trip Registration" link and the section where you will fill out your youth's info just under it.

At the "Summer Field Trip Registration" link, you will see which field trips you would like to sign up your youth for. Note that some of these might be subject to change due to schedule shifts. In addition, please remember that our bus has limited capacity, so we cycle through groups of youth when deciding which kids go on what field trips. If your child goes on one field trip, it is not guaranteed that they will go on the next one, since another child may go instead. We are also giving the option for parents to drive their own youth to destinations if chaperone capacity allows.

In addition, we are test-running a preorder option for lunches! While we still recommend your youth to bring their own lunches, we will have various meals ready as an option for them each week. Just click on a given week on the registration page and fill out the necessary information.

Summer programming will start on Monday, June 29, 2026, and will last until Thursday, August 20, 2026. The Batibot Youth Program will be comprised of students in kindergarten through 6th grade, and students in the Bagets Youth Program may be in 6th-12th grade. Batibots will be here from 10am-1pm, while the Bagets will have their programming from 12-3pm. If your youth is in 6th grade, we have flexibility on which program you would like for them to attend since they may not feel ready to be in the high school age groups yet.

If you are not a parent or guardian, please feel free to share this info to your family, friends, or community!

It sure has been hot kapamilya!

To help beat the heat, we modified tumbang preso a bit so the kids could keep their shoes on while playing on the hot pavement while also cooling down.

Instead of the usual shoes and slippers being tossed to knock over the taya's, the guard's, can, we gave the kids reusable water balloons! It was super fun being able to play like this on a hot almost-summer's day!

What can you all get done in a minute kapamilya?

Since it's the start of summer, we are starting the week off with playing some indoor games and challenges before we move outside! These minute-to-win-it type activities include tick-tack-toe with ping pong balls, trying to scoop as much of something into a bin while blindfolded, and even balancing a cookie on your head and trying to eat it without using your hands!

♨️ Can you all believe it’s already the end of the school year kapamilya? 9 months fly be so fast, but that means summer is upon us too to enjoy.

🌻📆 This last month of June will be super short, since two weeks of June will be devoted to getting ready for the summer program, but we will still have fun in the meantime.

🎯 Week 1: We Would Like to Play a Game
It’s going to be a very hot week this first week of June, so we will be outside a lot for most of it! Playing tumbang preso, Minute to Win It games, we will focus on having the kids enjoy the weather as much as they can before they get out of school.

☀️ Week 2: It’s 104 Days of Summer Vacation
The last week of the after-school program for the entire school year! We will be cleaning up the classroom and having end-of-year celebrations with the kids.

⛱️ Week 3 & 4: Summer Prep
From June 15-26, the Batibot & Bagets After-School Youth Program will go on a break to prepare for summer! See you all on June 29th!

Let’s have a month of new experiences! 😎📖

What did you all do for AANHPI Heritage Month kapamilya?

One way we celebrated our collective heritage at the Filipino Community of Seattle was through our event, AANHPI Journeys: Stories of Family and Belonging. Essentially, this was a local children's book author showcase, where local authors and illustrators read excerpts from their published works, demonstrated things relevant to their books, like dances or flower arrangements, and all of them even got to sell their stories!

Through this collaboration, Mam's Books, the Wing Luke Museum, and Filipino Story Time Seattle were all also present and ready to sell and distribute books as well.
