Voila ! A Closet Becomes A .....

dressing room.  On the very first day of Spring Break a few Peirce families rolled up their sleeves to clean out & organized a storage closet that can now be used as a dressing room.  Supporting both the performance efforts of our student productions and our Peirce circus troupe.

Led by parent, Beth Tenney and her daughter, Madison; space was created, debris was discarded and a few "treasures" were unearthed.  
This Peirce painted sign was found.  

Found in the closet was a beautiful, hand-painted sign that was provided around the time Peirce was designated an International Studies school.   Does anyone have a recollection of where it hung?  It seems to be dated about 1994, before the new addition was built in 1999.

Wooden kindergarten chairs from the early 1940's were stored.
 Fairly well preserved wooden chairs, that appeared to be designed for Kindergartners were also stored in the closet.  Some of the chairs are dated back to early 1940's.  What a find!

The Tenney's, Bigg's & Alana families helped tackle the closet cleaning.
The spring cleaning and reorganization of this large closet is definitely a first step in turning it into a useful room for our student performances.  There are a few ideas that need talented, skilled parents to help bring to life.  Can you help us figure out how to hang mirrors & lights for a make-up area? Donated materials such as countertops, benches would improve the utility of the space.  

Let us know (email PeirceParentsGroups@gmail.com) if you can help us continue the transformation of the closet.
