And we guarantee you will have fun doing it!
Summer 2021 Family Art Days (FAD)
Can you help us with one of these?
We need help on Saturdays at noon to assemble the take-home packs and also help to distribute them from 1:00-3:00.
We need assistance setting up the tables and art supplies in the orchard on Saturday mornings at 10.
Volunteers are needed to assist the instructor with the classes in the orchard 11-2 or a portion of that time.
High school students are welcome to help, too.
To sign up to help with kids and families:

THANK YOU for supporting SJIMA with these important programs for the community.
