It may be blustery and chilly on Ocracoke, but we are keeping warm with lots of new activities! Read all about them below, and visit our new website at www.ocracokealive.org. It is still under construction, but it getting pretty close! The new website also features an updated calendar system so that it will be easier than ever to keep track of upcoming Ocracoke Alive events. Read more about what has been happening below.
Ocracoke Alive began its Arts Partnership Program for Ocracoke students this week featuring two guest artists, Lauren Strohl of Ocracoke's Graceful Bakery creating artisan bread with preK-3rd grades, and Jean Skipper guiding 4th-8th grades in the creation of Recycled Critters. Oh what fun! Many thanks to our sponsors and to the Ocracoke Methodist Church for use of the Rec Hall and Captain's Landing for providing housing for Jean Skipper during her visit.

Next week our courses are Native American song, dance and visual arts with Pat Garber (PreK-3), and fabricating copper jewelry with Kathleen O’Neal (4th-8th). Can't wait!
