The third grade class, taught by Michele Shannon (picured above with her students as they get ready for lunch on the first day of school), got acclimated to the new school, which had hallways shaped not unlike tennis rackets, new purple chairs for their classroom, and a projector, speakers, microwave and mini-fridge...

I mention it was in the dark, because I was amazed... no, make that disgusted... when I finally moved it to the other side of the studio. It was kicked out of its old spot during remodelling, but is again behind a studio flat.
