This beautiful "when I grow up" garden bench has been adorned with tiles created by each child. The tiles depict what they would like to be when they grow up. A one-of-a-kind treasure!

Ms. Keith's 1st Grade
The students in Ms. Keith's class have learned the art of glass blowing! Corey Hubbell, a Laurelhurst-student's uncle, taught them how to create this beautiful masterpiece at his studio in Redmond.
They have created 26 colorful glass balls plus a larger ball created by Ms. Keith. They are displayed in a beautiful glass bowl that was created and signed by the artist. Corey Hubbell has blown glass for over 16 years and has worked with many established Northwest artists including Dale Chihuly.
Ms. Carroll's 1st Grade
Add this colorful Smith and Hawken birdbath to your garden. Ms. Carroll’s class learned to identify and draw each part of a dragonfly. Then, each child used pencil to draw his/her own dragonfly on a three-inch ceramic tile.  The children then painted their dragonflies to create this one-of-a-kind garden decoration.
