Join the Somerville Public Library and the City of Somerville Health and Human Services Department to "Paint Your Pride!" in a joy-filled series of Community Art events! The completed works will be displayed in the Library's Gallery @ SPL for Pride Month! About Paint Your Pride: Expressing one’s pride in their individual identities is critical for one’s well-being. Asserting who we are is an act of self-love and self-care. Samples of queer designs meant to inspire will be provided at a several events, and through take-and-make opportunities, but participants are free to paint (or draw, color, or sketch) in any way that best expresses who they are. We hope this experience of painting and sharing who you are with the community will bring moments of joy, creativity, and of course, pride! How to Participate: Canvases and painting supplies will be provided at this event, OR you can pick up a "Paint Your Pride" Kit from one of the Somerville Public Library locations. Please register so we know how many supplies we need. This program is intended for children, tweens, and their families. If you're an adult looking for a Paint Your Pride event please see our Paint Your Pride Virtual Paint Night and Paint Your Pride with Alex Makes Art programs.  All completed canvases and artwork should be turned into the Somerville Public Library by June 1 to be included in our “Paint Your Pride Tiny Art Show,” showcased in the Gallery @ SPL during the month of June. Please stop by our Gallery in June to take a look at what our community has created, but we especially hope you will join us for a Reception on Saturday, June 15 to celebrate the artists and their work.

These sessions are for folks interested in meeting others who enjoy making a variety of art and crafts.

In addition to being safer, this allows children to better experience early literacy benefits, such as learning to listen carefully and repeat what they’ve heard, which boosts vocabulary and language skills; and developmental benefits, such as paying attention and learning to be part of a group.

This Zoom presentation is to help high school juniors and their parents understand how to use the summer productively to create a compelling college application. It will cover the college application process including current admissions trends, writing the personal statement essay and supplemental essays, teacher recommendations and how students can position themselves to increase their chances for admission. The presenters will discuss how the Supreme Court decision has impacted the college admissions process and how a student’s ability to express their insights, experiences and personal growth through their application essays are more important than ever before. Stand Out For College will discuss application strategies including the advantages and disadvantages of early decision, early action and regular decision. They’ll review what factors students should consider in deciding whether or not to submit their standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) for test-optional colleges and universities. They’ll also discuss the different ways that students can be admitted to a particular school. Stand Out For College will examine the holistic admissions review process, what admissions officers consider important when they review applicants, and how students can position themselves to develop a compelling narrative to increase their chances for admission. And will also discuss the importance of community service, how it can provide an opportunity for personal growth and an opportunity to showcase a student’s character. Admissions officers place great emphasis on a student’s character and how the student has been able to give back and help others. This program is a detailed and strategic overview of what students should focus on to make their college applications compelling. Led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC. (standoutforcollege.com) Questions? Contact Kerry: [email protected] About Stand Out For College: Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper are partners at Stand Out For College, LLC and they focus on helping families navigate the college admissions process which has been made more complicated due to the effects from COVID. They have been asked to present to over 130 libraries across the country serving communities in the New York Tri-State area including in Westchester, Fairfield, Nassau, Suffolk and Bergen counties as well as neighborhoods in Palo Alto, Boston, Dallas, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and San Jose. When you register for this event, you'll receive an email confirmation with the Zoom information sent from Stand Out For College, as well as through reminder emails.
