Thaî's no small feat, considering there are about 900 staff and students.

For weeks on end, Lynn bas spent time with indi- viduat classes toi belp tbem witb their tules. Classes were given topics. with Kindergarten students doing handprints and older students tackling themes like leadership and taking care of the earth. Once the tides wcre painted thev werc transpo)rted to the studio, dipped in a glaze tank and loaded inb a kihn where they were fired for 24 bours, completing the transformation fromt bisque to ceramic. "Every tule came out of the kiln absolutely beautiful, whether they went outside of the lines or not," Lynn said. Since the kiln can bold just 50 tiles at a time, that meant 18 firings for ail 900 tiles - the equivalent of the kiln running for 18 days straight. The tiles were thcn packaged up and delivered back to the school for installation. Lynn said she had no idea when she staried the proj- ect that it would become such a huge undertaking, and ut's given bier a real sense of connectio-a witb the school.
