Thank you to Mr. Balsano, the Garden Club, and all the other students who helped make Burr Beautiful! And take a peek in the front yard at our new Japanese garden with a serene Jizō statue, donated in part with a grant from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chicago (JCCC), which FOB matched. 💜💛
