coming.
Donaldson, who had done
some coloring with her grandson, said she loves it because it is re- laxing. And, she said, “it’s just nice to get out and make new friends and visit.”
New participants on Jan. 18 included Yvette Fischer and her husband, Greg, and their son, Ethan. Yvette said she had just found out about the sessions last week, and it fit in with her fam- ily’s longtime interest in the activ- ity. Whether they’re at home or on vacation or in a coffeehouse, “we take our books and sit somewhere and color.”
Yvette’s eye for color was im- pressive. For example, the colors she was using for her design con- veyed an art deco style in hues of golds and dark jades. She was
modest about her ability and said she just enjoys that it’s something her family can do together. She said they plan to come back.
“It’s just fun,” Yvette said.
Sue Ekberg also was at the session and also exhibited a strik- ing eye for colors. She, too, was modest about her ability.
“I don’t know. It’s just the beauty of the colors, how you put them together. It just turns out,” she said.
And putting colors to paper is relaxing, she said. When Thiessen mentioned that if you don’t like how a design is turning out, then toss it, Ekberg agreed. The point of coloring, she said, is to just let yourself go.
“I can’t draw anything. All I can do are stick figures,” Ekberg said, with a laugh. “But I can col- or.”
When the sessions began, Thiessen started them with small- er images, such as book mark de-

Salle makes an investment in the future. The school strives to equip students with the es- sentials needed to lead fulfill- ing lives of love and service: faith, knowledge, morals and discipline. This day celebrates their achievements.

The musical follows the story of the hit 1989 Disney animated movie “The Little Mermaid,” based on the Dan- ish fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian An- dersen. The music and lyr- ics – which includes the song
otherwise would be borne by states and local public school districts. Catholic educators say statistics show Catholic schools save U.S. taxpayers “almost $20 billion a year” in such costs. We also will cel- ebrate and advocate for par- ents’ rights to choose where and how their children learn.
At 8 a.m., a prayer service for our nation will be held. At 10:15 a.m., a flag ceremony and pep rally will be held, fol- lowed by lunch with students’ grandparents.
• Thursday, Feb. 1, Cel- ebrating Vocations – This is Vocation Appreciation Day for the clergy, religious and parents. It celebrates the many ways people can serve God. We will thank those who have made service to God their life’s work, particularly in our schools and parishes. St. La Salle will recognize our priests for helping us grow in our faith.
At 7:30 a.m., the school’s staff will greet parents and of- fer sweet treats as they drop off their children at school. This is done in appreciation to them for choosing St. La Salle. At 8 a.m., the school will

signs. (She herself also has made small gift card envelopes.) They also used reference materials, such as a color wheel, to under- stand what colors go together and other aspects, such as shading.
Coloring may not sooth every- one. But Scott M. Bea, a clinical psychologist for the Cleveland Clinic said on the facility’s web- site that coloring can be effective because “it is a simple activity that takes us outside ourselves.” And when a person is focused on a simple activity, the brain tends to relax, he said.
Thiessen said they welcome more people to try the coloring sessions at the library. She talked about the appeal of the activity and the broad range of colors that can be used.
“It’s more than a rainbow,” she said.
For more information about the sessions, call the Reedley Li- brary at (559) 638-2818.
