APRIL 2023


Student Art Show & Summer Recruitment 🎨⛱️
Last month, our teachers and students hosted the first Heart House Art Show at Jill Stone Elementary! Students from Kindergarten - 5th grade invited their friends and family to show off the artwork they created at Heart House program.
Our students proudly showed their artwork to their parents, families, Heart House volunteers, and other community members.

Students loved explaining the inspiration behind their work as well as the skills and knowledge they gained during the process.

This Art Show followed our All Around the World unit, making it the perfect time for students to learn about and practice art forms from all around the world!

Students learned about the month of Ramadan and Islamic artwork; using their knowledge of geometry to create bright patterns.
Community Appreciation Day
at Sam Tasby Middle School
On Saturday, April 22nd, Heart House happily attended Sam Tasby's 17th annual Community Appreciation Day! The day was filled with celebrations of cultures, guest speakers, and tons of fun with students! Our Teaching Associates (Linda & Gillian) created fun games for students to play while we shared information about our summer program with parents and families. We can't wait to see our middle school students again this summer!
We saw many ex-students and families of Heart House, including current high school student, Jafar! Jafar shared that he attributes his success to his time at Heart House. His favorite thing about Heart House was how he was able to exercise his communication and social skills. Jafar is currently a junior studying business at a collegiate high school and is planning on volunteering this summer with us! 
We are so proud of his accomplishments and we can't wait to see what he does after graduation! 🎓
