Operation Smile- Bright


Great work Ceramics students!!!! Only one day selling diyas and we managed to sell nearly all of them!!! Setting up our table during UN Day turned out to be a great strategy. For all those who didn't purchase a diya today, you will have another opportunity after we return from break during the week leading up to the Diwali Mela! It's a great cause and the student made diya's are beautiful.

Happy Diwali!!!! Safe travels and we'll see you after the break!
