Take a look at all the art the kiddos made during our PD day: Upcycle Art with Abi Luke!🌎✨

Using old and used materials we made some amazing crafts! For example, did you know that if you tape two paper towel rolls together they can become binoculars…well now you do! Upcycling materials is a great way to help the earth and give items a second life.

Thank you so much for to everyone who came and got thrifty with us! We all had so much fun—can’t wait to see everyone again💛
