At the very end of the year, Spring 05, our student friend, Allie, made a mask. I wish I had another close up photo of her without the mask. Allie, we wish you well in your new school.

I believe this was during one of the last days of school last June (05). The construction was a parking garage if I remember right.

The school teacher ventures out to see students who have grown up and gone on. I love visiting with Marya to see what "art" she is up to.

Clustered in and around the tables, the group passes Social Studies flash card questions. When they don't know the answer, they throw it into the center. The cards that are in the center are the ones we go over for review.

Just East of the Dairy store we took the path through the lilac gardens and found a space that looked like a play house.
