The Teen Room Cometh…

imageSo, in case you were wondering just what’s going on in the Teen Room: we’re gearing up for a complete transformation!

While right now it looks a bit like a dance floor, with assorted chairs, by the end of September we’ll have a whole new space with new furniture, collections, and computers for both studying and play.  If you stop by now, come see the new carpet and four of our new comfy chairs.

Check out the new floor plan!
