Our latest YAM Participation Post comes from Michelle Harpster. Michelle is an art teacher at Mary Kay McMillin Early Childhood Center and Mountain Park Elementary in Berkeley Heights, NJ.
Michelle writes: "As a means to spread positivity and give thanks to our first responders and essential workers during this trying time, Berkeley Heights art students from Mary Kay McMillin and Mountain Park Elementary created artwork and special thank you notes for first responders and those helping during the COVID-19 crisis. Once their work was completed, the students emailed their images and I compiled them into multiple collage spreads. Working alongside Cioffi's Deli and Pizza of Springfield and The Salad House of Westfield, Morristown, and Millburn, over 60, 22x14 inch cards containing student art are being delivered along with meals to various hospitals around the state: Saint Barnabas Medical Center Overlook Hospital Morristown Hospital University Hospital of Newark Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hackensack University Medical Center Christ Hospital in Jersey City Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Trinitas Medical Center in Elizabeth."
