Pompom Crafts (Ages 6-8)      Ms. Sherdellah Aban

Learn how to make pompoms of various sizes and colors by using different methods. Making pompoms is a fun activity that enhances fine motor skills. Choose and create a cupcake, a flower bouquet, a keychain, or your own fluffy creation.

Creating Art to Change your Mindset (Ages 8-11)  CLASS CANCELLED

Ms. Julie Johnson

When tasks are hard, it's easy to give up. Let's learn how God made our brains to be elastic and able to grow. In this class, you'll be choosing a goal for this year, and will be making a design with black pen to remember that goal. You'll be doing a creative form of black and white art using patterns and shapes. With a new growth mindset, and your drawing as a reminder, we hope that you'll be able to work through your goals and accomplish those things that seem hard. It's a great way to start the school year!


Skit Performance  (Ages 8-18)

Mrs. Sarah Kelleth

Learn some basic acting techniques, rehearse, and then perform a quick skit in front of a small audience. Participants will receive the script about a week before class so they can memorize lines. Don't worry, it will be short! Sign up soon so that we can choose an appropriate script for the size and ages of the group.
