This blog is designed to chronicle the wide-range of experiences of participants Adolescents Building Literacy through Expression (ABLE). ABLE serves students between the ages of 10-18 living in Washington, D.C. Our program creates the intellectual and emotional space for adolescents to expand and enhance their skills in reading, math, science, history, writing, and health. The ultimate goal of our program is reflected in our motto:"Thinking Outside of School".

White House Farmers Market
This fall, ABLE teamed up with City Blossoms for a very special program. Students worked in a public garden, harvesting and learning about plants and herbs. Within a few weeks the students created a business plan and at the end of November had a chance to sell homemade soaps and scrubs at a farmers market in DC. They did a tremendous job and sold the majority of what they made!
A congratulations goes out to our students and a thank you to City Blossoms and the White House Farmers Market for helping our students reach their goal!
