Kids Spend Day Off At Upbeat Club
With county schools closed for superintendent conference days, Cooperstown area children in grades 1-8 spent a day of activity at Upbeat Club at the Christ Church. Above, Diane Koffer, Cooperstown, oversees Molly Murphy, Allie Nagleschmidt and Zola Palmer in the kitchen baking cookies. At right, Elias Vazquez, Hartwick, and Elainie Nelan and Alana Feury, both of Cooperstown, make inspiration blocks. The program operates on days children are off from school, and focuses on faith-based crafts, games, cooking and promoting character growth. It is sponsored by the Ecumenical Council of Churches in Cooperstown. (Ian Austin/AllOTSEGO.com)
