Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, February 23, 2022
The Teens Care group will take part in the 2022 Students Rebuild: World Needs Challenge from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 25. Students will become “artivists,” designing posters to amplify the messages they care about and expressing themselves with colors, images, and words.
For each piece of artwork shared with Students Rebuild, the Bezos Family Foundation will make a $5 donation to support projects that carry a global impact. Come to the library or join us on Zoom to learn about the five world needs in the challenge and find your focus issue.
This is for students in grades 8 through 12; please register to attend in person, or email if you’d prefer to join us online using Zoom.
