Staff vs. Members Basketball Game

A Little Theatre and A Lot of Imagination

The STARS group decided that they wanted to create costumes in the art center last week.  Once they created their costumes, they wrote and acted out a short play.  It is wonderful to see our members stretch their imaginations and use their creativity.

Here is a picture of one of our STARS members in her princess costume she created herself, complete with a bouquet of flowers.

Great job to our volunteer Samantha for making an engaging lesson for our members!
