News Release

SYRACUSE — During the last Homeschool Program of January, children will celebrate the Chinese New Year. Home-schooling families are encouraged to stop by the downstairs meeting room at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 28, for the program.

In February, the Homeschool Program will change as a volunteer artist leads art classes at 10:30 a.m. each Friday. Projects include snowflake art, a snow globe collage and Faith Ringgold quilts. Cabin Fever Art will build on each week’s class, so it is beneficial to attend each one.

Storytime will continue at 10:30 a.m. each Wednesday and Friday. Children should dress for messy fun during Wednesday’s Wacky and Wiggly Storytime.
