This week our students received a surprise from Miss Angela at MHCB. They were each given their own glass plate to paint and keep! Miss Angela related this Christmas craft to the brain and everything the students have learned during the Breathe Like a Bear Program. She discussed how art can be used to help calm our guard dog down. The students took their time and did an excellent job painting in the lines.
