“My name is Bridget. First and foremost, I am the proud mother of my 16 month old daughter, 

Allison Grace.  I am a freshman nursing major at West Chester University.  I work part time at the 
Kennett Square Giant and Creative Play Day School in Toughkenamon.  Through this art program, I discovered a creative side that I never knew existed.  I am really thankful for the opportunity to learn about printmaking. ”  Bridget Phillips

My name is Ibeth and I am 20 years old. I am the mother of my 2 year old son Jonathan. I am a student at the Kennett High School night program. I hope to graduate from Kennett High School and I would like to get a degree in nursing or social work. Even though I have other responsibilities, I still found time to attend this art program, which helped me discover my more creative side. I would like to thank everyone at the Garage, the teen mom program, and my family for supporting me with everything.
