BARSTOW IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!

As the colors begin to change, it is the perfect time to get outside and explore our surroundings.
Barstow students will be collecting to build compositions, foraging to construct sculptures,
 or simply observing to find inspiration.  We are fortunate to live in such an amazing place.
Celebrate the season!
