Yesterday our girls has an amazing time visiting Sara Bogosian and David Gain at the Whistler House Museum of Art / Lowell Art Association, Inc. to learn about the history of the house and the renowned painter, James McNeill Whistler. They discovered that Whistler was actually born inside the very same home!

During the visit, the girls had the opprtinuty to view the iconic "Whistler's Mother" painting that James created for his mother. They also got a chance to explore the different floors of the ouse and admired various paintings by other talented artists. It was a fantastic experience that enriched our girls' knowledge and appreciation for art.

Last week, our first week of our Summer Programming was off to a great start. We experienced a few major challenges, but many thanks to State Senator Ed Kennedy and his office which consists of Dominik Lay and Patty Kirwin-Keilty and the continued support from the Lowell Public Schools Superintendent Liam Skinner and the Stoklosa Middle School Principal Jim Cardaci, our first week of summer programming at the Stoklosa School was a success. The girls had lots of fun, and some got an opportunity to do a week long programming at Ironstone Farm where they learned how to take care of horses and discovered the profound impact these majestic creatures have on their mental well-being.

Starting tomorrow, July 1 through August 23, we're temporary moving back to our building for the rest of Summer Programming. To learn more about us and to sign up, visit: https://girlsinclowell.org
