Billerica students create portraits of Ukrainian youth
This year’s Fine Arts students at Billerica Memorial High School have reached beyond their classroom walls to help enrich the lives of young people in Ukraine. By participating in The Memory Project, students created portraits of children who have been taken from or have lost their parents in that war-torn country. The goal of the project is to help the children feel valued and important, and for them to know that many people care about their wellbeing. Senior Ashley Argerake reflected on the memory project “I liked the whole concept of the organization. It is really nice for youth in bad situations to have something good in life."
Teacher Mary Barton-Lech received a grant from the Billerica Cultural Council to cover the per person fee for students to participate. The fee covers the costs of coordination, and delivery of portraits to the children in Ukraine. In addition, $6000 was donated by the organization to art therapy programs to help the children as they process the trauma they’ve experienced. For more information about the project visit: memoryproject.org.
