Galentine’s Paint Party!

 

January Update

What an amazing writing and creative workshop we had today! The workshop was led by published author, Cia Lackey, and her husband, Pierce Lackey, an actor who has made appearances in Cobra Kai, Stranger Things, and Jesus Revolution, among many others. Thank you both for taking time out to share your creative talents with the girls! They absolutely loved this workshop. Cia read from her book of poetry, and as a gift, each girl received her own copy of the book. The girls really connected with Cia’s poems and it was great for them to learn how to use writing as an outlet to express themselves.  Pierce, while an actor, also does some writing, and was able to share his talents with the girls. Cia and Pierce also discussed with the girls their journey to become who they are today, a writer and an actor. These were things both Cia and Pierce had dreamed of since they were children. They encouraged the girls to never give up on their dreams. It was an incredible workshop and a great way to start off our 2024 Chicktime year.
The Newton Community Magazine also contributed to this workshop. Each girl received a journal and a copy of the magazine. They were encouraged to write down their story- even though it may not be finished yet. Each girl has an incredible story ahead of her and the journal is a way to record that, so that one day, others can learn of how each girl overcame her challenges and achieve her dreams. 
 
Cia’s book of poetry is available for purchase on Amazon:
Thank you to Elks Aidmore, Inc. who continues to allow us to serve these girls. See you all in February!
