Art Material Pick Up!
Our Program Team was super lucky and had the chance to see families not too long ago (at a safe distance, with our masks on, of course). We needed to make sure that they had access to materials for their virtual classes since we wouldn’t be meeting in person for the fall semester. It was a lot of fun to put together their art material packets for them. The team set up a couple of days where families could come pick them up, safely, take them home, and use for their classes! These were filled with art supplies like a drawing pad, drawing utensils (like markers, colored pencils, graphite pencils, etc), and one class even received Model Magic Clay!
Those enrolled in dance, received therabands and a variety of balls (like dodge balls and tennis balls) for exercise, strengthening, and stretching. Rachael, one of our Teaching Artists, included a notebook and pastels for reflective and expressive projects as part of her work on artistic process and early choreographic thinking work!

Marianne, our Dance Program Director said that “It was great to get outside and see everyone in person after months apart. Once we saw students and families we all lit up. Oddly enough, it didn't seem like it had been so long since we've seen everyone. Energy with everyone felt mutual and content.”
It was so great to see the families, some actually hung around for a bit in their cars to chat and catch up and many families picked up for others in our classes. The youth were SO excited to get their packets and even more so when they got to show them off during their classes.
