Our coloring table has become a place of collaboration, imagination, and joy, where students feel encouraged to try new ideas and share their work with others.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your investment in our learning space and in the creativity of our students.

This is the best day ever!\" It might sound silly to think that a bunch of 9 year olds would be so excited about a piece of cloth hanging on the back of their chair, but they truly were so grateful to not have to worry about sharing their space anymore.\r\nThe erasers were also a big hit!
