Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy

While Hurricane Sandy may have dampened our spirits temporarily, it proved to us that working together as a community is our best asset against seemingly insurmountable odds. In the weeks following Sandy, we have been redoubling our efforts to ensure that our kids have every opportunity to process their emotions through creative outlets. The process of making art -- telling stories about personal losses through acting, dancing and painting together -- is one way to help bring normal back just a little bit sooner. Now more than ever, your year end support is especially valuable. Please consider donating today!

Here are some stories from our students.
