Allison Grace. I am a freshman nursing major at West Chester University. I work part time at the
Kennett Square Giant and Creative Play Day School in Toughkenamon. Through this art program, I discovered a creative side that I never knew existed. I am really thankful for the opportunity to learn about printmaking. " Bridget Phillips

My name is Ibeth and I am 20 years old. I am the mother of my 2 year old son Jonathan. I am a student at the Kennett High School night program. I hope to graduate from Kennett High School and I would like to get a degree in nursing or social work. Even though I have other responsibilities, I still found time to attend this art program, which helped me discover my more creative side. I would like to thank everyone at the Garage, the teen mom program, and my family for supporting me with everything.

Thanks for asking. It was a fabulous opportunity to connect with amazing women in our community.
