Birdhouses

We have built and sanded our birdhouses in ADST and are scheduled to paint them on November 27th. Students should wear old clothes in case the paint gets on them. It is outdoor paint that would likely not be possible to wash out of clothing. Once they have dried and are ready students will bring them home.
