In our 3rd and last week of Summer School, our preschooler and elementary students learned about the La Tomatina tomato festival by making their own poppers, splatter painting to celebrate Holi and festival masks covered in colorful feathers.

Our Summer School program this year was full of fun, exciting and educational activities.
