They have years of chess playing experience, tournament experience, and the passion to keep the kids entertained!

Hand sewing is a great way to learn about safety, sharing, decision making, confidence and patience. Students will become familiar with the vocabulary that comes along with sewing as they learn how to make a pattern, select and measure thread, thread a needle, make a knot, stitch, create a lock stitch, stuff their shape and sew it closed. By the end of the session, students will have completed a small stuffed shape of their choice, a pin cushion and will have also learned how to sew on a button. This class is taught by West Side Innovations Specialist, Kristen Moore! We will not have class on April 20.
