 Building Communities Through Art Parents & Students Create Projects Together

🌟 We believe that fostering a sense of belonging and identity is essential to children's development. That's why we recently launched a collaborative art project where first-grade students and parents teamed up to design unique cubes that reflect their creativity and shared purpose. Through this hands-on experience, children not only expressed their artistic visions but also developed important social skills and an appreciation for teamwork. This activity empowered our students to take on the role of lead artists while learning that everyone's contribution plays a vital part in shaping the community.
