Champion for Kids 2024

The Boys’ and Girls’ Club of Greater Salem is once again celebrating with their Champion for Kids Celebration! I am so happy and proud to have been associated with this wonderful organization for many years. My interest started when as a teacher in the Salem Public Schools, I would see my students so excited to get on they B&GCGS bus after school to take part in their activities each day.

It was my pleasure to work with some of the B&GCGS kids to facilitate their painting of game motifs to coordinate with this year’s theme. The kids planned, sketched and ultimately painted with acrylic paint on canvas and entered their finished artwork into the silent auction to benefit their beloved club. Many of them were at the party and witnessed the attendees excitedly bidding on the kids’ work! All their work sold and the kids were thrilled, and nobody was more thrilled for them than I was. This year I was delighted to also donate one of my paintings to their Silent Auction: Log Cabin Quilt, acrylic paint on illustration board, matted & framed.
