As we gear up for the new school year, I'm excited to see how students will continue to use this space to build confidence and creativity.\r\n\r\nWith your help, the art room has become more than just a classroom—it's a true gathering place. We are planning new projects that will encourage mindfulness and collaboration, and I can't wait to share their progress with you.
