Art teacher Shannon Blake’s Advisory class participated in the door deck competition. Senior mentors and freshmen decided upon "The Jungle Book" theme as they were excited for all the colors they could use. After initial technology setbacks, Blake said a group of his students continuously worked on the door deck. “We started as a miserable failure because we were trying to get things drawn out by projecting them on the wall and technology was failing us or we were failing technology,” Blake said. “Once we got over that hurdle, everything started working.” Photo by Anna Xu.
