Buttons for Freedman Kids!


We have three wonderful Albright students helping us this year - Alyssa, Amanda and Jess. And we are implementing some new ideas- including these buttons! Kids who come to our programs get these lovely pins and will earn beads to hang from them with different projects they complete.

Freedman Kids Say Cheese!


Fernando, Jacob, Haley and Bence proudly hold up the cast of characters they made from found objects. They were inspired by the Jeanne Verdoux Exhibition: Mr Bones and Friends. They collected materials, worked on their pieces, photographed them on location and then added stories, culminating in books and sharing. Scroll down and through to see all that they created!

Haley's Character Project/Story




One day an ordinary girl was sitting at the poolside. One day a superhero also known as the Fashion Police appeared. She went to the ordinary girl and said "You are in violation of fashion."
The ordinary girl said "But I am in my bathing suit."
"I don't want to hear it. You are going to fashion jail," she said.
"But why?"
She just said "SHHHH."

The ordinary girl spent four years in fashion jail. She was released and went shopping and they all lived happily ever after.

The Clam Soldier

Wind blew hard. The soldier walked across plains of Tennessee. He was trying to survive.

Suddenly the clam soldier woke up in a hospital. He sees his left arm missing. He turns his head forward and he sees a doctor talking to his wife. The doctor turns and walks into the room. "You have stepped on a landmine clam," said the doctor.

His wife walks in crying. She calms down and gives him a hug.

The next day he walks out of the hospital. He and his wife get in the car and drive home. They went into their house and ate a delicious dinner.
