” Stretchy People Art was So Fun! Thank You to the amazing families who came to our ‘Stretchy People’ Family Art Class with Justine Pechuzal. We had so much fun drawing figures with different proportions, building texture with hot glue, and blending it all together with chalk pastel. The creativity (and the proud smiles) were off the charts ” – Youth 360

Last night’s karaoke contest was a lot of fun and all proceeds that were raised with that will also go to the polar bear’s committee’s American Cancer Society’s fundraising efforts! Congrats on the winners all around and it was a great competition with some amazing talent!” – American Legion Seward Post #5
