McCallum said.

The summer camp runs for two months, with students able to buy for the full camp or on a weekly basis.

Students grades kindergarten through sixth grade gather at the park for games and other activities.

“This is one of our more popular annual events,” McCallum said. “We always hit our maxi-

mum number of participants.”

She said that there is one counselor for every 10 students.

New for this year McCallum said that twice a week the group Challenge Island will host a STEM activity for students.

“It really challenges their minds,” McCallum said. “Plus the experiments are a lot of fun.”

The group also goes on nature

walks, learns about nature and science, and spends a majority of the their time outdoors.

Children are required to wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes, bring their own lunch and a water bottle, and a change of clothes.

Donuts with Dad event offers family fun

By ABBY SLANKER neighbors@vindy.com

Children of all ages brought their dads to the Canfield library to enjoy Donuts with Dad on June 15. The children and their dads enjoyed a morning of fun and games, crafts and, of course, doughnuts.

“Th is is a low-key event where the children can just hang out with their dads and have fun playing games and doing crafts. This is the first time we have done this program and it’s nice to see all the dads here. Usually it’s the moms who bring the kids in and it’s nice to see the dads bringing them into the library today,” said Nik ki Puhalla, youth services librarian.

The library provided juice, coffee, doughnuts and cookies, along with board games, card games, Legos and corn hole for the children to play with their dads.

Two craft tables were also set up for the children and their dads. One craft table contained giant posters titled “About My Dad” that the children could color and decorate. The children then filled in the blanks with their dad’s favorite hobby, what he does for fun and more.

The other craft was titled “I

An initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, the NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.

The Grant to PLYMC with LitYoungstown is one of 78 given to nonprofits by NEA Big Read to host a community reading program between September 2019 and June 2020. The NEA Big Read in Mahoning County will focus on “Into the Beautiful North”

by Luis Alberto Urrea, who will make appearances in Mahoning County this fall. The community will be encouraged to read “Into the Beautiful North” at that time.

Information about the author visit and surrounding events will be released as soon as possible after final arrangements are made.

“We are very excited to have received a grant for an NEA Big Read in our community,” Aimee Fifarek, PLYMC Executive Director, said. “What a wonderful opportunity to bring a love of reading to our area along with LitYoungstown. We are very happy that the grant will enable us to bring noted author Luis Alberto Urrea to Mahoning County this fall. We hope the community will join us to celebrate reading, thanks to this NEA Big Read grant.”

“It is inspiring to see both large and small communities across the nation come together around a book,” said National Endowment for the Arts Acting Chairman Mary Anne Carter. “We always look forward to the unique ways cities, towns, and organizations, like the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County and Lit Youngstown, explore these stories and encourage community participation in a wide variety of events.”

The NEA Big Read showcases a diverse range of titles that reflect many different voices and

perspectives, aiming to inspire conversation and discovery. The main feature of the initiative is a grants program, managed by Arts Midwest, which annually supports dynamic community reading programs, each designed around a single National Endowment for the Arts Big Read selection. Since 2006, the National Endowment for the Arts has funded more than 1,400 NEA Big Read programs, providing more than $20 million to organizations nationwide. In addition, Big Read activities have reached every Congressional district in the country. Throughout the past 12 years, grantees have leveraged more than $50 million in local funding to support their NEA Big Read programs. More than 5.7 million Americans have attended an NEA Big Read event, approximately 91,000 volunteers have participated at the local level, and 39,000 community organizations have partnered to make NEA Big Read activities possible.

Fourth-grade student Alexander Hoffman read his winning essay aloud to community members gathered at West Boulevard Elementary School.

Fourth-graders at West Boulevard Elementary School celebrated their graduation on May 31.

A lmost 70 fourth-graders from four classrooms were honored at the event.

“Say i ng goodbye to t he fourth-graders is always bitter sweet,” said school principal Alphonse Cervello.

The event started by honoring a number of fourth-graders for outstanding work.

Student members of the Bug Club, A/B Honor Roll and the Presidential Award were recognized.

Cervello said that the school also asks fourth-graders annually to write an essay about the highlights of their time at West Boulevard.

Teachers and staff members then read the essays and choose from all the students, selecting one student to honor.

This year, Alexander Hoffman was chosen, and read his essay aloud to those gathered.

In his essay Hoffman outlined

the high points of his time starting in kindergarten and going through fourth grade.

“My first day of kindergarten I was really nervous,” Hoffman said. “But then I met a group of friends.”

Then teachers took turns on stage, reading aloud the students names one by one. Students then walked the stage, shaking hands with Cervello and receiving their diplomas.

To end the event, a slide show was played that depicted photos of the students final year at West Boulevard.

Boardman library hosts faux stained glass event

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

Boardman library hosted a faux stained glass art making event on May 23.

Librarian Cindy Christiani organized the event.

“It’s a fun and easy craft that

can be used to decorate, and it’s actually pretty easy to do,” Christiani said.

The library provided paint, plastic plates and smocks to community members gathered.

“I tested all of the paint and added a couple of designs for them to try out,” Christiani said.

Neighbors | Jessica Harker

Community members painted plastic plates to look like stained glass on May 23 at the Boardman library, hosted by librarian Cindy Christani.

During the event, community members picked a design they liked, which were outlines in advance by Christiani.

They had three to choose from, including a desert scene, a rose and animals. Community members then painted their plate to customize it, from a va-

riety of transparent paint.

“When you put the finished piece in the window the light coming through has the same effect as stained glass,” Christiani said.
