Chappaqua Central School District: Art Heal

20

Chappaqua Central School District issued the following announcement on March 15.

How can art heal? SB designers learned how toys can help kids experiencing trauma, and reflected upon their experiences as younger children. They then sketched and fabricated felt monsters and other unique characters, complete with composing their own backstories to accompany them.After photographing their creations for a presentation, the students were excited to donate them to local hospitals and outreach programs. Sixty of the felt creations are already out the door and have found a home, bringing smiles and easing anxiety for the youngest of patients at Greenwich Hospital's Emergency Department.
