TAYLOR PARKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Scraps are turned into 'aliens'

It was about scraps turning into art recently during a special presentation at Taylor Parks Elementary School.

Pupils and parents attended an Allen Adventure workshop for writing. Materials and instruction were provided by Arts & Scraps, Recycling for Learning & Fun. 

Arts & Scraps is located at 16135 Harper, Detroit. It is a non-profit organization that uses recycled industrial materials to help people of all ages and abilities think, create and learn.

After pizza and refreshments, parents and students created aliens from all the recycled materials on hand, then used their alien to provide the character and compose writings.

It was a challenging, enjoyable event for all.
