Last Thursday Jan. 30, 2020, we toured 3 of the 6 schools we’ll be working with in 2020. This is the Trust for Public Land project. Mr. Joe, Vicki, Jennifer, Maria, D. Illias, Peter went to Burnet Sam Houston Salazar Guzick student art. Vastly different campuses, ideas began to jump out. A tower, a staircase, a ground space for gathering. It’s 2am. I am beginning to get tired. wish I had a bedroom with skylight.
