UUSL IS OFFERING A PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AGES 5 AND UP. IT'S CALLED OCEAN (Open Creative Exploration through Art and Nature.)
It is led by Cathy Kaplan. Each week is a self-contained session that incorporates a UU theme and works in conjunction with the worship service. The sessions start immediately after the "Story for All Ages" and provide all participants with a safe and nurturing environment in which to share ideas about the world around us while using a variety of materials provided to create artwork to take home and enjoy throughout the coming week. Religious education (RE) for children is important at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia. Parents are welcome to observe the religious education class anytime. |
Cathy Kaplan holds a BA in art history (Wellesley College, 1989), an MA in education (Goddard College, 1998), and an Ed.M. in arts in education (Harvard University, 2013). A practicing arts educator, visual artist (www.ctk-art.com) and musician, Cathy has worked in a variety of fields including neuroscience, educational technology, assistive technology, marketing, publicity, and graphic design.
In addition to working with middle and high school students through the Concord School District's 21st Century Community Learning Center Program, Cathy currently serves on the boards of the Concord Community Concert Association, for which she oversees student outreach efforts, and Friends of the Performing Arts at Concord High School. Nearly a life-long resident of New Hampshire, she currently lives in Concord with her husband Dan, their two children, both students at Concord High School, and two cats -- one of whom fancies herself a puppy.
