Love Halloween as much as we do? Get ready to craft something creepy, kooky, and just a little bit weird!
In this hands-on Halloween workshop, students will turn ordinary craft supplies into spook-tacular decorations worthy of a haunted house. We’ll start by decorating our own creepy planter, then “grow” a wonderfully weird eyeball plant, complete with twisting stems and watchful eyes that seem to follow you around the room! 👀🌱
Next we will create gauzy ghosts that look like they’re floating through the air. They’re surprisingly easy to make and frighteningly fun!
Students will leave with their handmade Halloween creations ready to haunt their homes all October long.Open to students in Grades 3 &amp; up! All supplies are included. Just bring your creativity and your love of all things Halloween!Use the provided link to register!

Madison Arts Barn

The RecF robotics program is built on a foundational student-led philosophy. They believe that the greatest learning happens when students are in the driver’s seat. Educators and mentors exist to guide, facilitate, and ensure safety, but every design decision, line of code, and strategy is entirely student-owned. By navigating their own challenges and failures, students build true ownership, resilience, and confidence.Core Mission &amp; Focus:While competition is an exciting and motivating part of our season, it is not our ultimate definition of success. Our program focuses deeply on:The Progression of building, continuous learning, team building, &amp; mentorship! Competition Strategy &amp; ScheduleTo provide a platform for growth and external collaboration, our program commits to participating in a minimum of two in-state Connecticut tournaments within the newly official RECF pathway. These events are viewed not as high-stakes pressure cookers, but as vital learning experiences where teams can test their designs, practice sportsmanship, and gain inspiration from peers across the state. Keeping with the structure of last year’s competition, there will be as many student-led teams as needed and they will be classified as an elementary school team whose oldest member cannot exceed 12 years of age, and the middle school aged group which would need to be under the age of 15 years.Practices Start September 22nd, 6 - 8pmCompetitions, (dates have yet to be posted, as soon as we know, we will let you know!)Use this link to register!
