The visual arts department has had to find new lodgings until the completion of the new STREAM building, which will house the visual arts, Robotics, and science departments. Regarding the move, Mrs. Sullivan said, “because I’ve been in that old space for 17 years, it was super liberating to get a fresh start. I think [it’s the same] for the students too.” She elaborated that “It was good, in a lot of ways, to come to this space without all the stuff and junk and know that we had just what we needed.” Art student Tatsuo Kumamoto (10) agreed, saying, “It is cleaner and things are more organized.” Specifically, Ms. Sullivan likes that the students can “have a little place to put [their] stuff where [they] know it’s going to be. Before, people put them in a communal drawer, and everything got lost.”
Mr. Matson jokingly claimed that a positive for the temporary classrooms was that “as much as I love my coworker and her classes, I’m glad she spends less time in my area, because it’s a lot cleaner.” Mrs. Sullivan chimed in, arguing “And so is mine. My space is a lot cleaner without you in it.” While the
teachers were simply joking around, Genevieve Chiu-Schaepe (10) believes this is actually a legitimate positive aspect. She remembers how “last year, there was always a mess from another class, and you would have to clean up or move around their work.” It seems that moving to these classrooms has been beneficial for everyone!
