Celebrating Creativity with Cardboard!

The FOCUS teachers at Brookwood Elementary were inspired by a short film called Caine's Arcade.

To quote the website, cainesarcade.com  

 

"9-year-old Caine Monroy spent his summer building an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad's used auto parts store, and invited the world to play."

 

Enjoy the attached movie documenting the eventful day.
