All Board Members of Star Shooter have agreed upon the decision to extend this contest for two months after the original deadline of May 31, 2009. At the beginning of the contest, a disclaimer existed in the website “Rules and FAQs” to possibly extend this event for further participation. The time has come and an extension is necessary. Therefore, the deadline will be August 1, 2009 and winners will be announced August 15, 2009. I understand this may be a disappointment to some, but just hang in there, keep shooting and the time will pass quickly! Please pass on the word about this contest, as we need 100 more participants! Stay tuned in for winner’s to be announced on www.starshootercontest.org August 15th! Thank you all so much for participating and believing in what Star Shooter can do for children.
God Bless Each of You, -Johnna Brynn Bockover, Founder

“Art therapy is an established mental health profession that uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.”
Yep! and it was super Fab! I’m not sure who was more proud… the kids or the adults! Alexis and DeQuan were definitely excited to see their masterpieces on display at Barnes and Noble, and their writings and images brought tears to their staff! -well, almost 
A big thank you to Teach My People for letting Star Shooter have the opportunity to allow kids to discover the “star” within themselves!
Two students from Teach My People (Pawley’s Island, South Carolina), DeQuan and Alexis, have started the Star Shooter workshop with great enthusiasm this past week! Their eagerness to learn and creativity has made Star Shooter’s first workshop super fun and successful! Our focus has been to document their lives at Teach My People and how it’s influenced their life today and how it will make a difference in their futures. They carefully selected images to be printed in a book and will also write for text to be included about the images. Enjoy a few shots of DeQuan and Alexis in action, as well as a few of their incredible shots!
