Trailblazers Date Change

Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe that vacation is already over, but I hope that everyone had a happy holidays and that you're returning to school refreshed from the break.

I just wanted to update everyone on our Trailblazers program for grades 6-8 this month. In order to give more time for people to sign up, we've decided to postpone the start date and add two new days for "Composing Comics". Trailblazers for January will now be on the 13th, 15th, 26th, and 27th after school. PORT staff will provide transportation via van from FMS to the teen center for participants on each of those days.

And January Trailblazers is going to be awesome! We're very excited to welcome local author Anne Sibley O'Brien to lead us in a series of workshops on "Composing Comics". If you're interested in drawing or creative writing, this will be a great chance to explore the elements of story and to learn how to translate those ideas into drawings. Each participant will come away from the program with a finished comic page. Don't miss it -- call 865.6171 or swing by 17 West St. to sign up this week!

See you soon,
Sarah
