Arbor (Entrance Way)

Mr. Vance, a fresh college graduate, turned an empty classroom into a woodworking room within a month of being hired. Mr. Vance and a group of fifth and sixth graders created unique geometric designs that were a result of student imagination—the students visualized what type of personality a specific geometric shape such as a cube might have. They then cut the designs out of wood using a jig saw and finished by painting the designs in black and yellow, the Till Academy school colors. archi-treasures installed the arbor into the school garden on December 2nd and the student artwork was installed onto the arbor shortly afterwards.

With the installation of the arbor, the Till Academy school garden also received an official name and is now the “Till Learning Garden.” The following activities took place in the Till Learning Garden in 2011.
