Congratulations!!  To all the students, teachers and guests who helped make the opening of the 5th Annual YCS Blossoms Art Exhibit a resounding success…

A beautiful sunny day paved the way for a very successful opening reception and awards presentation. It was standing room only, as guests packed the cabaret room at the Bergen Performing Arts Center for the scholarship and awards presentation. MY 9 News reporter Megan Vega was Master of Ceremonies and special guest artist Faith Ringgold captivated the audience with the reading of her poem Where Dreams Come From
.

In an e mail response to an article in The Record by Kevin C. DeMarrais about Blossoms Art Exhibit,

YCS Trustee Joan Hickey writes

If you missed this show, you really missed something special. The work of these students is powerful beyond words. It is wonderful to see the article. The public needs to see what can be accomplished when the kids have someone in their corner, when we don't give up on them. Please give my thanks and sincere appreciation to the foster parents, care givers and teachers of these young students. Nothing is more important than helping a child reach their potential.

A note of congratulations from Susan Silberman.

I just saw the exhibit last night and was immediately moved by it. I think it is wonderful and so very important… the art and poetry really spoke for itself.
