Placing his ball down, senior Luis De Casas takes a turn at the mini golf course designed like a cannon. The activity provided students a new hands-on experience outside of the classroom. “I’m not at great at golf,” De Casas said. “It’s difficult, especially aiming for a straight shot and just trying to get it to go through. I had fun today though, I got to golf with my friend and the weather’s nice out here.”

![Neutral color schemes are proven to limit visual interest in an interior space and have a draining, depressing effect on people. In the past year, the neutral aesthetic has become popularized in all areas, and in the classroom it can affect education. “In schools, traditionally, we use colors that, like, create a calm environment,” Fashion Design teacher Levi Harbeson said. “Color is really good because it stimulates the brain and it stimulates thinking. In my room, I not only try to have a lot of color, but you also want to make sure those colors are constantly changing. So you have new student artwork on the wall, or you rearrange your posters, or you move stuff around, because changes to the learning environment keep students engaged. When they walk in and they notice differences in [color], they're gonna be more interested and their brains will be more activated in that space.”
