If your child has been feeling lonely, withdrawn, unmotivated, or unsure of where they fit, this workshop was created with them in mind.

Texas New Rhythm Academy invites youth ages 6–17 to a positive and uplifting workshop focused on motivation, coaching, mindset, confidence, healthy habits, and building a better future. Through guided reflection, encouragement, and a hands-on vision activity, youth will be encouraged to see beyond limitations, believe in what is possible, and start thinking differently about their future.

This is more than an activity. It is a safe, positive space where youth can reconnect with themselves, build confidence, strengthen their mindset, and be reminded that their current circumstances do not define their future.

Sunday, April 19
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
BiblioTech EDU (Downtown)
Ages 6–17

Light snacks and drinks will be provided while supplies last.

RSVP: Message “VISION” to 206-250-8657

Join us for ’80s Music Bingo, a nostalgic and interactive program featuring popular hits from the 1980s. Participants will listen to short clips of classic songs and mark matching titles or artists on their bingo cards. This engaging activity offers a fun way to enjoy music, socialize, and celebrate a memorable decade.

Come and join us for National Poetry Month with a unique event offering some vintage tech. Typewriters will be available for attendees to sit down and manually type out a poem, a few thoughts, or perhaps a letter to a loved one. So come for a nostalgic throw-back or experience pre-PC tech for the first time.
