Our brand new Trinket Trade Box at A Step Beyond! 💜

Ms. Yahaira and some of our youth painted both our Free Library and our new Trinket Trade Box, a space where students can exchange small treasures by trading something they bring.

"This is why we can make a trinket box. We can share and not pay because some people can't afford expensive stuff." - ASB student

"This will encourage people to donate items they do not use, and people can exchange items for items they actually want." - ASB student

Swipe to see their beautiful work and be sure to stop by our Trinket Trade Box next time you visit ASB. ✨
