February 2007 -- Using courtyard models built by
COG's designer Rita Christensen, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade
students collaborated across grades to create their
visions for a new centerpiece for the school. The
COG design team will continue surveying staff and
students and then develop a design concept to satisfy the
needs and desires of the school community.
Design team: Rita Christensen, Monica Fairbairn, Nancy
Phillips, Anne Smith.
