Colfax Elementary School District

Amazing monsters! Last week, the Colfax High School ceramics students presented our students with Monster Projects to take home. Each Monster Project was designed by our elementary students and was "brought to life" through the creativity and hard work of our high schoolers. The projects became gifts that our elementary students took home to rest on their shelves, bookcases, and night stands. Thank you, Colfax High School!
