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.

Kicking off the year with an engaging Community Art Project, spearheaded by our new Youth and Family Coordinator Maya Arcand! Maya has hit the ground running with growing our Arts & Culture programming and getting the whole community involved. Jake the Snake painted by the INCREDIBLY talented Emma Fellenz along with coloring books filled with Cherryville Landmarks really captures our vision for community building and connectedness. Jake the Snake is an ongoing community art project where all are welcome to leave a painted rock, located permanently down at Hansen Park, come and add your rock piece and lets watch him grow! If you do add a rock, take a picture and tag us on Facebook at Cherryville Youth & Families so we can follow along the adventure.
Thank you to all of our staff and volunteers who continue to represent the Cherryville Community Food and Resource Society and support our mission and vision.
