#CCCTB20
Did You Know?
 
Planning for the 2014-15 20th anniversary is coming along well. We are deep in the archival review process. All those high school conference t-shirts, class papers, reports, newspaper articles, etcetera have been kept in files, boxes, bins and desk.  For this week's installment of #CCCTB20 thought I would pull a few of these items out.  Yes! We have kept  many of the old 'zines, Student Initiated projects (SIPs), and other artist creations made by community.  Do you see your handy work or project in these photos?  Remember as we make preparations for the 20th celebration in May 2015 did out those old 'zines and publications and send us your ideas, stories, pics to #CCCTB20. Looking forward to hearing from you. Continue reading here...
