"It was an amazing environmental creative workshop, eye opening, and self reflecting. I can say I was taught to appreciate nature."
"I've been attending the past few here at the Overton Community for Excellence. I feel like this workshop is going to be the most memorable one out of the Community Days we have had so far. Unless we top the next one in September. One quote I have it to keep in mind is that we should always strive to be enlightened. I definitely felt enlightened and being able to look at the greenery too. It was the perfect environment and good activities. The questions were a good excerise for the mind and thinking productively. More introspection I will take on through the rest of the day."
