Students (and team members!) at Latimer Cornerstone Community Center in Flushing, Queens, explored their artistic side this month. First, they made scratch ornaments for Eid al-Fitr (see below) after learning about the holiday. Then they studied the late great artist Georgia O’Keeffe and created paintings inspired by her life and legacy.

The Child Center’s 30 afterschool programs prioritize opportunities for students to discover their strengths and all the wonderful things they are capable of. As you can see from these pictures, the young people of Latimer are on their way!
