These @pivotpointintl mannequins are WILDLY creative 🤩✨
From crayons to colored paper clips to pipe cleaners, our Plainville students turned everyday items into high-impact art! 🎨🧡
Can you believe this is Phase 1 🤯
This project was all about interpreting beauty as an art form—using color, pattern, texture, and pure imagination to express design in the most unique way. It’s a reminder that creativity has no rules and beauty truly comes alive when you let your mind play. 💫
Shoutout to Miss Latoya for getting these vibrant projects to us from @alexandra.lough class ✨
Our students are thinking outside the box! And thank you @crayola for the endless color inspiration 🖍️🌈

Our Plainville team went all out for World Kindness Day 💛✨ They created a true kindness community within the school — from kindness bars to hot chocolate stations, compliment tags, motivational stickers, and so much more. It was all about spreading joy, connection, and leading with intention during this busy season of giving.
A huge thank you to our Plainville staff for being such incredible role models. Your energy inspires our students to lead with kindness, support one another, and carry these habits into their lives and future careers. Here’s to a community that chooses kindness every single day. 🤍
