Express yourself was a really fun and creative session. The kiddos really enjoyed it. We had many great discussions around the table and lots of laughs as we worked through the process of art and did not focus on the outcome. We used music, dance and skipping to get our body moving and keep our creative juices flowing.

We are looking for an artistic and creative person to join our team to support Cherryville youth! Position will be posted until filled.
