Color Games is a school fundraising event organized by Apex Leadership Co. that combines fitness, leadership, and community support. During the program, students learn important leadership lessons such as teamwork, gratitude, and perseverance while working toward a fundraising goal for their school. The event culminates in the Color Games celebration, where students participate in fun physical challenges and are showered with colorful powder as they run through activity stations. The fundraiser helps schools raise money for important needs such as educational programs, equipment, and campus improvements, while giving students a memorable, high-energy experience that promotes healthy activity and school spirit.

Once again, Mr. Benjamin's Cotillion is being offered to 6th and 7th graders, in the Fall of 2025. This is a 71 year tradition (est. 1954) of children attending this class throughout San Diego County. Three generations of San Diego families have participated in this program.
The classes will start in October and end in March. The program is taught by Mr. Peter Benjamin.
It involves a series of 1 hour classes, held on a once or twice a month (Monday) schedule for 6 months. 7:30-8:30 pm. These classes are held in seven different areas. The one families from your area attend is in Point Loma. Silver Gate Elementary School. Classes will begin in October 2025.
The cost for the 6 month program should be $300.
Each class, the children are involved in topics pertaining to manners, thoughtfulness and self-confidence. They also dance, in order for them to become more comfortable and self-assured in talking with others, making eye contact and becoming a good listener.
Topics include: First impressions, eye contact, firm handshakes. How to be a proper guest, host or hostess. Correct introductions . How to create and hold a conversation . Table manners and proper place setting . Concerns regarding cell phones and social media. Character development is discussed. Along with many others. Everyday skills to ensure a successful future.
This program stresses the development of kindness and graciousness; qualities of which are becoming increasingly void. In a world of rapidly evolving electronic communication, cell phones and text messaging, we often forget that fundamental skills of human interaction remain basic and unchanged. At every class, we review and reinforce these highly reliable skills.
