Teens "Rock the Block" at Gulfton Promise Neighborhood
The Gulfton Promise Neighborhood was rocking on Friday, April 29, when 140 teens descended on the Baker-Ripley Campus for the first "Rock the Block" event.
The community event introduced Gulfton youth to the Baker-Ripley Campus – and emphasized that it’s a safe place to be involved in activities.
In between rockin’ with a deejay, participants created a mural (pictured here) that captured the "promise" of each teen.
The event included a basketball tournament, soccer, video games – and a chance for teens to discuss how educational success should be a big part of their planning for their futures.
