Spring Break- CCA Visit

This week we visited CCA with 9 students and one relative of the students, and were given a wonderful introduction to the CCA Oakland campus and many of its facilities. The kids loved it and didn't want to leave... Miguel asked about when to apply, and Uriel already knew he wanted to focus on design. Favorite parts of the visit included the kiln room, animation department, photo darkroom... students especially loved seeing their mentors, and getting introduced to the specific crafts through the mentors, and their projects. Rachel's beautifully crafted metallic and handblown glass aquaponic tank grow system especially impressed many of the kids. They were so perceptive, noticing that one of the trees in the gardens was on the brochure, and picking up many other details, showing their degree of engagement. This was a truly great and inspiring experience for the kids. Thanks so much mentors, and of course Virginia, and the great tour guides for making this possible, and being so caring with the kids, on your spring break!
