The arts on stage at PS199 in Queens

The students who participated in our Creative Arts at PS199 through the Refugee Youth Program this past fall launched the holiday season with an energetic medley of skits and presentation of their projects. Led by ASTEP Volunteer Artist Autumn Potter, who returned for her second program with the children from the Refugee Youth Program, the students created poetry, various visual art projects, and journaled, all with the focus on their journeys to the U.S.-where they had come from and their hopes for the future. Below are samples of their creativity!
