Day
is May 17! We're
planning to host a very special DIY-kids activity: Superheroes
of Tomorrow! Children ages seven and under will (with
a little help) be able to create their very own superheroes.
This is
where you come in -- we need volunteers to staff the table
and help those pint-size artists create their masterpieces
(or alter-egos!)
If you can volunteer
an hour or two (or know a teenager who can), please contact
Jan.

A
Look Back at Cheverly Parents Resource Center Events from 2007-2008...

CPRC
celebrated Earth Day and Arbor Day a few days early.
We planted trees in Cheverly’s
Gast Park (actually, the great guys in Cheverly's Public Works
staff planted the trees...we just mulched and watered.) Many,
many thanks to Pepco Arborist Nathan McElroy and Cheverly Public
Works Director Juan L. Torres for all their work. About a dozen
new beautiful trees have been added to Gast Park, thanks to
donations
from Pepco, Prince George’s County Forestry Board, and
the Maryland Urban and Community Forest Committee (MUCFC) to
plant trees in Cheverly’s Gast Park. In addition to tree
planting, environmental information and trees were given to
families who came out to help on this very special morning.
More photos are posted on our flickr
page.

CPRC
Families in the Arts Night
|
 |
| About
65 people turned out last week to join CPRC for our first Families
in the Arts Night benefit. Special thanks to Cindy Popol, who
coordinated the evening, as well as Beth McCracken-Harness for
her curatorial work, Tammie Nelson for coordinating poetry and
Charles Andrews and Kelly Fisher for the great music. We all had
a great time and Artmosphere Café was packed for the full
two hours! Proceeds from this evening will help CPRC establish
a new scholarship fund which will provide opportunities for children
from low income families to participate in community activities,
such as Boys & Girls Club, scouts, CYAG, and camps. If you
would like to learn more or get involved with this event, please
e-mail scholarship@cheverlyparent.org. |
