After School Art Club

For this week's Showcase, we join BCEMS Art Teacher Eirene Mavodones and Barre City parent and artist Amber Charbonneau in their weekly after school Art Club with a group of 8th graders. At the height of the pandemic, Ms. Mavodones was concerned that too many of our students were missing out on opportunities to socialize and connect with their friends in shared interests. So, she and Amber did something about it! The BCEMS Art Club has been a joy for students on Friday afternoons for nearly two years now, and you can hear the experiences of some of our 8th graders.

I really enjoyed listening to these students' love for creating their art, and it was even better to see them working together! After school programming is an essential option for students and families of all ages, and the BC Art Club is just one fun and safe opportunity we provide to the children of Barre. We hope you enjoyed seeing this.
