attend recreational parties and celebrations, and participate in fitness activities.
The GNP also dedicates time and effort to promote resident relations by serving specific areas of need for the adults of The
Park at Fort Bend. Through resume building, interviewing techniques, computer skills classes, employment skills, budgeting
classes, and health and fitness classes we seek to increase the self-sufficiency of our residents. Parents please
remember you must always be on property in order for your children attend functions for schoolers.
The GNP Learning Center is located in the leasing office. All residents are welcomed to use the business center
Monday- Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult or when GNP activities are taking place.

What’s
Happening In 2010
Art After School Winter Art Show
Texas Inter-Faith and City ArtWorks has sponsored a scholarship opportunity for 11 talented children from
The Park At Fort Bend. The children have studied with a professional artist
for a period of 5 weeks. City ArtWorks a nonprofit organization, offers
hands on art for children. The lessons introduced an artist while stressing the
elements of art and nurturing the creative process. A new curriculum, including
painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking & mixed media, is presented each semester.
This semester, the children have studied expressions through story telling. The Art Show will be Saturday
January 16th, 2010 from 1pm-3pm. All the community is invited.
