Holiday Crafting

The Card Making class made some cute holiday crafts to sell around campus. They were a huge hit! 

Crafting like Crazy!

One of our many fundraisers this year is selling See's Candy Bars and Lollipops. We will be selling them at the Holiday Dinner Dance. Our Stamping & Card-Making class are hard at work making the decorations.
Can't wait to see the final product!!

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.

On Monday mornings, we have Card Making Class with Nira. We make all different types of cards --birthday cards, get well soon cards, holiday cards, and more! After, we sell them at fundraisers or around school.

Beads of the Rainbow!

On Thursday afternoons, we have our Leisure Skills class with Jillian, Teri, and Melissa. Each staff teaches a new project and we rotate every week. This is the craft we learned with Melissa. We made designs out of colored beads and then melted them into shapes.
