Community Helpers: This week, we'll meet Lt. Caroline St. Pierre, a Lieutenant firefighter on Ladder 3 from the Rosemont Portland Fire Department. The PFD will be bringing a fire truck that will be parked by CMTM's entrance for us to see these helpers (and their truck) up close.

Explore, create, and collaborate during this drop-in class for children ages 2-5 and their caregivers. Each week, experiment with the mediums and styles of both well-known and emerging artists. This week, we will focus on the work of Kandinsky and his "Color Study: Square with Concentric Circles" piece. For Kandinsky, color meant much more than just a visual component to a picture; he believed color was the soul and essence of a work, and he was very interested in how colors affect each other.

Please plan for a messy but fun morning; aprons will be provided. Thank you to Hancock Lumber for their support of this program and CMTM's MakerSpace.

Morris likes lots of things: doing puzzles, painting pictures, pretending to be an astronaut, and wearing a tangerine dress from his school’s dress-up box because it “reminds him of tigers, the sun, and his mother’s hair.” But some of his classmates think boys can’t wear dresses. With his vivid imagination and space-animal friends, Morris travels the galaxy in search of an answer to the all-important question: “Do astronauts wear dresses?”
