Greetings Designers and Design Families,
Our Spirit Week is a wrap! We got “far out” and “totally rad” on Decades Day, flexed our creativity with “Anything But A Backpack Day”, and we closed out the week with a frighteningly fun Community Dialogue in our costumes today. A special congratulations goes out to our 11th grade (aka: the Junior Jack-O-Lanterns) for winning our grade-level hub design contest. See some of the photo highlights below from our spooky CD, and a photo of the winning hub design, too.
