The New Courtyard

We feel very fortunate to have access to this new and improved outdoor space. Each art room, including the VPA mac lab, opens onto this outdoor classroom. Thanks to funding from the PTA and hard work from Deb Line and student volunteers, we are now able to take 2 full classes at a time outside and work in the fresh air. We plan on using the space as an outdoor gallery to display weather-resistant student work.
