The Creative Writing Club is designed to ignite the imaginations of young writers, foster a love for language and inspire creative expression in a fun, supportive environment. Through the exploration of classic literature, inspiring writing prompts, creative language games and collaborative storytelling, students will:
*Discover and experiment with different writing genres
*Learn and reinforce key grammar and language concepts

Whether your child is just beginning to write or already fills notebooks with stories, the Creative Writing Club is the perfect space to grow as a writer-one imaginative word at a time.

Unleash your creativity and explore the world of art in this exciting, hands-on class. Children will learn how to draw a wide variety of animals-from cuddly house pets and fascinating sea creatures to lively farm animals and wild jungle inhabitants. Along the way, they’ll discover the joy of self-expression and develop artistic skills including sketching, shading, coloring, cutting, gluing, and folding. Each week features:
*Inspiring art projects using different techniques and materials
*A featured artist from history or the present day
*Fun and educational games that spark creativity
*The chance to build fine motor skills, personal style, and artistic vision
No prior experience is needed-just bring your imagination and a willingness to explore. Let your inner artist shine as you create, learn, and have fun in a supportive and inspiring environment.
