Friday was Park(ing) Day in Tacoma, where artists, businesses, and regular citizens take over a metered parking spot and turn it into a mini-park. Seabury middle school students designed, assembled, and manned a spot near our building. We had a lego table, a vintage electronics exhibit, a logic/math puzzles table, and an art section with coloring. Many people stopped by and learned about our school and its students. They were also entertained by the fabulous magic stylings of Coco the Magnificent.
Our students were able to wander around the city and experience the other park(ing) spots. We interacted with students from SOTA and discussed graduation plans. We hula hooped and did sidewalk chalk. We visited the Mad Hatter Tea Shop and wowed them with piano playing. Some students played mini-golf and participated in art installations.
This was a great opportunity for us to make connections in the neighborhood and get to know our community.
