Art After School, the immensely popular after school art program for kids in grades one and higher, begins its ninth year with two afternoon programs each week that school is in session!

Art After School, Wednesdays at 3:15 – 5 p.m., engages creativity, nurtures imagination and builds community by encouraging young artists to explore all kinds of media: pastels, drawing, painting, sculpture, weaving, etc. Teachers Racheal Scott and Susan Kershaw have all kinds of wonderful projects planned and look forward to a great year of art fun! Art After School starts on Wednesday, September 3 in St. John’s Parish Hall, door at the end of the driveway on Elm St.

Art+Faith After School, Fridays at 3:15 – 5 p.m., explores faith themes and stories through the use of art projects. We’ll be using the animated curriculum “Holy Moly” to learn about this amazing world that God has created and how God acted in the lives of Abraham and Sarah (God’s promises are surprising!), Isaac and Esau (how come those brothers didn’t get along?) Joseph and his colorful coat (more jealous brothers!), Ruth and Naomi (and the meaning of family and kindness), among others. This an a non-denominational effort and children are not required to attend St. John’s in order to participate. Art will be used to reinforce the young artists’ connections with the stories from the Bible. Racheal Scott and Susan Kershaw are the teachers. Art+Faith starts on Friday, September 5 in St. John’s Parish Hall.

Any child in grade one or older is invited to participate. There is no tuition fee. Registration can be done on the day of class, or email Susan Kershaw: susankershaw54@gmail.com.
