Their creative endeavors soared to new heights as they embraced the spirit of storytelling through art!

Spark learners crafted their very own leprechaun hats, adding a sprinkle of magic to the festivities. With each hat, they captured the mischievous spirit of the leprechauns and reveled in the joy of creativity!
