On May 9, Grant students took their Vision of a Lakewood Graduate focus on collaboration to the ultimate degree as they all became "boxitects" and worked together to build a carboard city! Students beamed as they watched their design ideas come to life as a pet shop, castle, dog house and more! The project was inspired by the book "Boxitect", read schoolwide, and came together thanks to the leadership of Grant PTA and generous donations from Larsen Architects and Dimit Architects LLC of Lakewood.
