The Jana Mare Foundation is holding another JAM (Jana’s Art and Music) Session for all kids in grades two through five on Monday, Feb. 19, at St. Mark Lutheran Church Snydertown (850 Snydertown Road, Howard).
Many school districts in the region don’t have school that day, and the free program will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with lunch included.
JAM Sessions share themes and messages around building self-confidence and developing healthy relationships through the use of creative expression. Participants will express themselves through drumming, movement and art as they learn to work together and support one another.
Art, music and creative expression are lifelong sources of resilience, self-confidence and happiness. Participants will have the opportunity to expand their creative thinking and mental well-being by expressing themselves in this unique, hands-on, experiential program.
By exploring topics that embrace diversity, compassion, self-expression and empathy, students will equip themselves with tools necessary to build and maintain relationships and learn healthy coping skills. Each session will focus on a different theme that allows participants to creatively reflect on their past, envision their future and appreciate their present.
