Alaska Sprouts holds first teen night

Alaska Sprouts Seeds of Change, the Wrangell organization dedicated to the community's youth, held its first "teen night" last Saturday night. The event was held at the old community gym, starting at 6:30 p.m., and numerous activities were set up for Wrangell teenagers to come participate in. According to Jillian Privett, Alaska Sprouts organizer, the teen night is something she hopes to be fun and educational for participants. Besides having an open gym, and giving teens a place to hang out, there were activities like rock painting, board games, and lots of snacks. A creative writing class was also held by Vivian Faith Prescott, who taught teens about blackout poetry. Another volunteer, Shawna Buness, made pizzas from scratch for anybody interested in learning some cooking skills.

The next teen night will be held on Oct. 13.
