Weekly events are led by PSL Services/STRIVE staff and members of the local community.

Tweens
Fridays from 3:30–5:30 p.m.
February Tweens will be full of energy, creativity, and fun—this month’s sessions will be led by University of New England’s Occupational Therapy
students!
Each Friday will bring something new as our student leaders plan a variety of engaging activities, games,
and projects for the group.
This week's session will include a creative activity where we frame our futures!
We will begin Tweens by engaging in a movement-based icebreaker game. From there, we will create personalized photo frames for a Polaroid portrait. We will select our props,
pose for the photo, and then put our customized frames to use! We'll end the day by diving into the meaning behind our creative choices with a show–and–tell activity.
