Thirteen students currently enrolled in grades 2 through 5 were present for the first week of Afterschool Arts held  Thursday at the Firehouse Arts Center.

The students were learning basic drawing skills at the first session, as they enjoyed drawing coffee mugs.

The six-week session of classes will be held each Thursday beginning at 4:15 p.m. Cost of $90 covers all materials. In addition to drawing skills, they will be exploring painting and ceramics.
