During the summer, the Life Skills students take Bart to the Oakland City Center for the free concerts and lunch. The students love dancing and socializing with their friends!

Color Me Mine

 Yesterday, the Arts & Crafts class had the wonderful opportunity of going to Color Me Mine in Walnut Creek! Some students chose to paint plates and other students chose to paint a coffee mug. We were able to use stamps, stencils, paint pens, and any colors we wanted! We can't wait to get our finished projects next week after they are glazed.
