A huge thank you to the students from Assumption High School who spent part of their Community Service Day with us last Wednesday!

This amazing group worked hard spreading bark throughout our back patio area and helped make the space look refreshed and welcoming for all of the visitors, students, artists, and families who use it throughout the year.

We truly appreciate your willingness to give back to the community and help support the arts. Thank you for your hard work, positive attitudes, and teamwork! 💚
