After-School Program presents new exibit
The city's After-School Program and the Reeder Heritage Foundation present their exhibit, "Coming to Montclair Story Night," at an opening reception on Thursday.
The program included a presentation by Anthea Hartig, Ph.D., a scholar who grew up in the area.
It also included an overview of the Reeder family, and students shared their family histories through a display of photography and narrative writings.
Beginning February, After-School Program students from Lehigh and Kingsley elementary schools participated in a project where they each learned about their family heritage through technical photography and narrative writings.
The program, called "Discovering Montclair's History & Future," is a partnership between the City of Montclair and the Reeder Heritage Foundation.
The exhibit will be on display at City Hall 5111 Benito St., Montclair through the end of the month.
