This nine-week program will guide students through the process of brainstorming, writing, and illustrating their very own book. Instructor and children’s book author, Erin Petti, will lead the program, working individually with each student and family to foster confidence, hone craft, and most importantly - help them find intrinsic motivation and joy in the creative process.

The Theft of Dignity is a lively, in-person presentation by YA novelist Dennis Wise that unpacks teen bullying through the lens of pop culture. It’s a fun, eye-opening way to dig into a serious topic, with practical ideas for building a more respectful and connected community.
This program is funded in part by a grant from the Hanson Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
