Special thanks to Patricia Beltran, a talented local artist and proud parent of one of our B.R.I.D.G.E.S. students, who generously volunteered her time to lead a painting class for our students!
Students gathered their supplies—paint, brushes, canvases, and aprons—and eagerly got to work. Mrs. Beltran first shared a completed example of a beautiful spring-themed painting, then guided students step by step as they created their own. Everyone was encouraged to use their creativity and imagination, making each piece unique.
This activity provided a wonderful opportunity for students to express themselves creatively while socializing and collaborating with their classmates. It also supported personal growth by helping students explore hobbies that can serve as positive coping strategies.
We are so grateful for this inspiring experience and for Mrs. Beltran’s generosity and creativity!
