Congratulations to this year’s group of student teachers working with our after-school arts education program, Mariposa’s Art! We are so proud of them, and of the work that their students have created. We asked some of our student teachers to share how working with Mariposa’s Art has transformed them. Keep scrolling to see what they had to say!
