Bringing Arts Education Where It Is Needed Most In The Classroom “It takes a few weeks to digest the unusual classroom of a jail and teens who are also inmates.

They even took the assignment and made it their own.

In The Classroom“It takes a few weeks to digest the unusual classroom of a jail and teens who are also inmates.
