Planting Seeds

From comic book heroes to snack-themed battles, the creativity was off the charts. One young artist dreamed up a nacho cheese superhero defending the city—made entirely of chip bowls—from an invasion of cool ranch chips. Another sketched a character with control over all the elements, undefeatable by any Earthly creature—only aliens from another galaxy stood a chance!

The best part? Listening to the wild, wonderful backstories behind their creations. It’s incredible what a blank page and a handful of colorful markers can inspire.

Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers—Ms. Jamie, Ms. Juanita, and Ms. Veronica—for making the space feel so warm, welcoming, and full of possibility. Your open ears and kind hearts make all the difference!

We will see you next month at Roy Maas Youth Alternatives!
