PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: ART

Art at the BGCSV is hardly your standard arts and crafts class. Right now, staff member Haley is running two enrichment classes, water marbling and quilting. 

In water marbling, kids "paint" the surface of a bucket of water using liquid inks, then use skewers or paintbrushes to swirl the ink. Then, they gently placed paper, fabric, or wood shapes on the top of the water and let the ink stain it. When they lifted it off, the ink had transferred to the paper or wood, making a beautifully patterned surface!


Quilting has been another popular art activity, with members choosing fabrics and hand stitching them together. Some of the fabrics have even been water marbled! 


Dear Parents

Every day here at the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley we witness the impact of a single action that gives our members the opportunity for a great future.  A gesture of kindness, a smile that creates a new friendship, an experience that sparks an interest in learning, or a simple conversation between a child and an adult.  Homework help, arts & crafts, and sports are just a few of the activities that we are sure your child has had an opportunity to participate.
 
We work to keep membership fees affordable by fundraising throughout the year.
The One Annual Campaign is the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts.  Funds raised allows us to add resources and provide new opportunities for our members.  We are hoping that each of you will join the effort by making a gift to this year's campaign.  Every gift no matter the size is important.

Your gift signals your confidence in our mission that every child deserves a great future.
