Some of our crazy kids during our Comic book release celebration. This book featured artwork they had done over the span of 8 weeks. We are hoping to continue the Comic book program again next year in hopes that we can release an even bigger, better, and more exciting comic book now that our kids are experts in them. Picture on the left is teaching artist Meghan Keane on the far right along with the artists, and special invited guests on the far left for the silly group shot. Picture on the right is of D'avian Jeffrey one of the participants to the middle school program and of the young artists to this book.

January Update

Middle school programs that normally take place have been put on hold for a special Black History month play that the kids will be putting on. The name of the play is titled, "What If" and it was written by the kids with help from Nahisha (The Middle School program coordinator) on what would happen if famous black leaders would have met in their prime. Famous Blacks such as Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and Medgar Evers. The play will take place February 28th at P.S. 15. Other acts include a dinner roundtable with Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey, and the other play is on the Mirabal sisters and their relationship with well known dictator and ex ruler of Dominican Republic Rafael Trujillo. These three well known sisters fought and rebelled with others to end his dictatorship.
