Art Jump Off, the after-school program at Lila G. Frederick Pilot Middle School run by Mass Art students from John Giordano’s  Creating Community course, has been written up in the Dorchester newspaper The Reporter.  In the fall semester fifteen Mass Art students from the Creating Community class were involved in the program.  This semester Kristen Mills is coordinating the program; she will be teaching the Creating Community class in the fall semester while John is on sabbatical.  Two Art Education majors, Jamie Andrade and Robin Bellinger, as well as a senior from Boston Arts Academy, Makeba Bostic, are teaching in Art Jump Off.
