10/27: LEAP Sandcastle Contest

Starr King fun at the beach

Our 5th grade “Team Piece Builders” had a fun time today working with BAR Architects, KPFF Engineers and Cahill Contractors at the Leap Sandcastle Classic competition! Thanks to Leap and our sponsors for promoting art education and making public art accessible to Bay Area school children. It was great to see all 3 of our awesome cohort teachers out on the beach along with science teacher extraordinaire Mr. Hsu!

The theme this year was “Let’s Play” and our structure, designed by the 5th graders, featured a bit of everything for kid playtime—centered around a slide that morphed into a piano keyboard that wrapped around some pets, toy pieces, books and sports gear. Well done, team!
