    Tricia Chen shows off her new coasters

    Parent Maker Night - An evening of creating and connecting

    Parent Maker Night on Oct. 8th was a great opportunity for parents to learn, create, and connect. By participating in a hands-on project, parents were able to make a ceramic coaster while learning about one of the machines available for use by students, teachers, staff and parents.  Parents were eager to learn and show their creativity while enjoying the company of other parents and getting to know the innovation teachers a little bit more.  Ms. Sophia, Mr. Charlie and Ms. Ale helped parents learn about and use the Cricut smart cutting machine and heat press to come up with some awesome ceramic coasters to take home.  

    Look for more Parent Maker events coming soon.
