Uplifting Urbandale

In honor of the Chinese New Year, Adventuretime students at Karen Acres created a 13 foot long dragon made out of paper plates, straws, cardstock, ping pong balls, feathers, strings, and streamers. Each student decorated their own section of the dragon by adding their own personal touches such as their favorite colors or something that signified themselves.
