We're Going Virtual & You're Invited!

Our Summer Theme this year is “Imagine Your Story,” & we’re challenging you to find a story that fits your own unique vibe or, better yet, tell your own! Whether you’re interested in reading a book or creating one, we have plenty of virtual program choices for you this summer @ Blackstone Teen Services!

How to Attend Our Virtual Programs:
All Blackstone virtual programs are held in the free video conferencing software Zoom. In order to receive a link to attend, you must register for the event.  Links to register for each event are included below. Need help? You can learn more about Zoom here. Or email Miss Sarah.
