WINTER 2019

BEST IN SHOW WINNERS

. This award is typically awarded to groups that use the arts for significant local, national, and global community building initiatives US-based organizations, Arch for Kids and the Mercy College STEP program, partnered to challenge grade-school students to consider housing solutions for homeless communities.  Reading articles helped young participants understand circumstances and obstacles pertaining to their challenge.  Then, in groups, kids designed both transitional and permanent homes.  “Some were group homes, some were individual houses – often with a separate building with shared facilities, such as a kitchen/dining room/recreation room. Many designs featured vegetable gardens for food and playgrounds for children. One design was a mobile home so occupants could travel to the best job opportunities.  Each facility had to incorporate sustainable design elements to cut energy costs and preserve the planet.”  – Kathryn Slocum, Arch for Kids Founder and Director Arch for kids provides young people with dynamic, hands-on learning experiences grounded in architecture, engineering, urban planning and design. STEP is a free academic enrichment program offered to select middle school and high school students from the United States, living in the Tarrytown, NY, Sleepy Hollow, NY, Ossining, NY and Peekskill, NY.

Osborn Elementary School students from Rye, NY, USA, created friendship bracelets, “loveys,” which are small blanket squares, and hand written notes to send to Dominican students at the Marino Caraballo Rodriguez School. Touched by the gesture of goodwill, the students at the Marino Caraballo Rodriguez School worked on bracelets to return to the kids in the United States.

.

* While most of the handmade gifts and notes were sent from Osborn Elementary School kids, enthusiastic Rye Middle School and Rye High School kids who heard about the project also voluntarily contributed letters and bracelets for the exchange.
