Mondays

Real Life Role Play. Each week, this group of Warriors will role play real life scenarios as a way to understand how to act and react in different situations. These situations will include such topics as what to do when someone gets hurt, how to ask someone on a date, and many more. We will look at each role play from many different angles to understand how to react based on what happens.
American Cultures. America is a melting pot of many different cultures and that is what has made this such an amazing and unique place to live. Each week this group will look at the different impacts different cultures have had on
our country.
Indoor Sports. The weather is too cold to go outdoors but that does not mean we cannot still compete and break a sweat! Warriors will learn different sports that they can play all year round, such as racquetball, floor hockey, and more! WW
Gala Art. Each year, the After Opps program likes to make a special donation to the Opportunity Knocks’ Gala silent auction. This year, program leaders Dondee and Honey will lead the group in creating these amazing and creative works that will be donated.

Wednesdays

Community Opps. Our Non-profit within the Non-profit is back! This session we will select a new community partnership to work with and donate our time and talents to helping them.
Greenline Wheels. The weather cannot stop the Warriors’ wheels from turning. We’re moving our bikes and trikes indoors to spin our wheels at Greenline Wheels. WW
Punk’d. Just like the classic MTV show, each week the Warriors will find one special person to play a funny practical joke on. They will also learn how to play a joke on someone without crossing the line by hurting a person’s feeling. All jokes will be done in good fun!
Giving Back. All of us Warriors live a very fortunate life, and in this program we will do our best to help give back to those who are less fortunate. This group will be working with local charities to help supply things that people in our community need by helping to collect them.

Fridays

Retro-meals. So many great dishes have been around forever. Unfortunatley, due to poor recipes or poor ingredients we do not see them anymore. OK is bringing them back! We will be using fresh, quality ingredients and foolproof recipes to make them “in” again.
Warrior’s Got Talent. Singing, dancing, telling jokes…Whatever it is, we all have a talent! Warriors in this group will practice and perfect their talents and put them on display at the OK Anniversary Party!
Medieval Times. Warriors in this group will learn what it is like to be knights of the roundtable (in the safest manner possible!). Participants will learn the skills behind jousting, archery, and more! They will be putting their new found skills on display at the OK Anniversary Party!
Party-Planning Committee. This group will be in charge of all the behind the scenes arrangements for the OK Anniversary Party. They will be making and sending the invitations to friends from the past to the present as well as making all the decorations for the event.
