			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were contacted by a local community member after they found an old newspaper clipping they thought we&#8217;d be interested in. This one is particularly special as we celebrated 120 years of serving our community in 2011. A newspaper clipping like this reminds us of our roots. You may notice some of the great donations that were given on our 44th anniversary (1935).</p>

On Wednesday February 15th, internationally renowned artist <a href="http://www.catherinefoster.com/">Catherine Foster</a> volunteered her time to join us for a metalworking art lesson! Foster generously donated time and supplies to the <a href="http://www.marthaandmary.org/kids/children-mm-club.htm">Martha &amp; Mary KIDS Before and After School Program</a> at Wolfle Elementary.  Foster is also the grandmother of a student in the program (enrolled in the program since Preschool).</p>
<p>The project involved sheets of aluminum. Students were taught how to emboss images from sheets of wood onto the metal.  They were able to test using miniature rollers, pencil erasers, and sandpaper sponges to see which effect they liked best.  In the end, they created small framed pictures, coasters and large works of metal art.  To extend the fun experience, Martha &amp; Mary KIDS offered a free afternoon session to anyone who was new to the program and received a wonderful response.</p>
<p>Thank you Mrs. Foster and look forward to having you back for more fun in the future!</p>
<p>Kristin Podelnyk, Site Coordinator<br />
Jen Brauer, Operations Coordinator</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Martha &amp; Mary KIDS Before and After School program is an on-site program for the North Kitsap School District. We also serve children on-site in the Central Kitsap School District at Clear Creek and Cougar Valley. We serve children who are full-day Kindergartners through 12 years of age.</p>
<p>Providing on-site care at elementary schools is a great convenience for parents and is a familiar environment for the children. The Before and After School Program was created in January 2001 in the <a href="http://www.nkschools.org">North Kitsap School District</a>. In 2007 we expanded into the <a href="http://www.cksd.wednet.edu/">Central Kitsap School District</a> opening programs at Clear Creek and Cougar Valley Elementary Schools. We have grown to serve over 350 children in the two school districts from Kindergarten through 6th grade.</p>
