Sue Silverstein Needs Our Help. Our Bishop Gibbons Artists Need Yarn That People Don’t Need! Let’s Do Some Good Today!

by Jon Katz

Sue Silverstein’s art class at Bishop Gibbons High School in Schenectady, New York, is doing amazing mixed-media painting using the supplies and patterns you sent them. Sue’s head is already on the next thing.

Sue rarely asks for help, but I got a message from her today seeking assistance:

“Can you ask if anyone has yarn they don’t need? I suddenly have a bunch of girls going through it like crazy.”   I’m on it, Sue. You and your students are magicians; you know how to turn other people’s junk into beautiful art. Look out, Tik Tok.

She’s also looking for used or discarded rolled-up window shades. If you have any extra yard to spare (or window shades), please consider sending them to Sue Silverstein, Bishop Gibbons High School, 2600 Albany Street, Schenectady, New York, 12304.

The Army of Good has sent just about every tool and supply and discarded things that Sue, with her magic, has turned into art. I can’t wait to see what they do with the yarn you send them.  Sue is making history with her 80-pupil program and the enthusiasm and talent it has unleashed and inspired. Thank you all so much.

We are changing and shaping lives and unleashing the creative sparks in all of us.
