In Salem creativity is encouraged. On Friday, March 13 almost two dozen students and staff from the Young
Parents Program, Supported Work, Food Stamps, Literacy Improvement and
Work Employment Program participated in "Hat Day." They spent a
relaxing afternoon making hats with a Spring theme.
"With
just a simple newspaper hat pattern, it was truly amazing how many
different styles were produced. They certainly are a very creative and
artistic group. All who participated had a wonderful time!" said Food
Stamps Coordinator/Literacy Improvement Instructor Gail Divico. For more photos click here.
On April 9 instructor Emily James led the "Spring Flower Extravagenza,"
in which participants made beautiful flowers out of tissue paper and
pipe cleaners.
Done on a regular monthly basis these
activities have been found to be a good way for students to relax,
express their creativity and interact socially in a less structured way.
