Changes at PH!

We have been working hard in the Youth Program at Pillsbury House to get the second floor ready for the upcoming Summer Arts Camp! We’ve been painting, cleaning, and moving around some furniture. We would love to have your help if you are up for a few hours of volunteering with us– just contact Corina or Heidi. Also, if anyone has ideas of things they think would be good around here, just tell us, and we will see what we can do!

Upcoming photo exhibit

Friday, December 19th, we are having a photo exhibit opening at Midtown Global Market (Lake and Chicago) to celebrate the hard work of so many of you! Exhibited will be photos by several of the after-school kids, as well as the recent “glamour shots” that some of the teens took with Emily this week. Please come and bring your families, friends, neighbors, etc and enjoy some coffee, cider, cake, great art, and great company in the pleasant atmosphere of family night at the Global Market. We are getting very excited for this event!

Congratulations MTN students!

Seven students from the after-school program participated in an agency-wide 2-week video grant/class in November during which small groups of youth from each center  created an original video with John Akre, a teacher from MTN (Minneapolis Television Network). This last Friday, all the participating youth took a trip to MTN studios in St. Anthony Main for a screening of all the videos that were made during the project. Everyone did a fantastic job, and got their own copy of the DVD to show their friends and families their work. Congratulations MTN students!

Glamour Shots

Emily, our photo teacher, will be putting on two “Glamour Shots” evening workshops. Come take portraits for your online profile pages this Wednesday, December 3, and next Wednesday, December 10, from 5-7pm. Bring your fancy clothes and get ready to have some photo fun!
