After several years in a portable classroom at Trinity Street Elementary School, Crown Jewel Club has found a home in a permanent classroom more centrally located on the school campus.
Moving to our new room at Trinity Street School
As with any move, it took time, patience, and a lot of hard work. At first glance, the collection of classroom items seemed like an intimidating task to tackle. However, with teamwork, volunteers transformed the clutter into a classroom in only a few hours. They reorganized and moved furniture, once kept in a tiny classroom, to more areas in the larger space. Volunteers created new stations for each activity that takes place during each class. Extra storage was a plus, providing students with a place to keep their coats and backpacks. Crown Jewel Club volunteers also reorganized the cabinets, making it easier to find items.
The hat boxes were arranged to provide a wonderful accent to the room
Once the organization was complete, our Executive Director arranged hat boxes on top of cabinets to brighten the room and make the girls feel special in the space.

Then, it was time for inventory. Volunteers gathered at the warehouse to transport items to the school. Once there, they carefully counted and recorded each item. It was good preparation for the upcoming sessions. Of course the preparation does not end here. We still need help with decorating and setting up the classroom. Please contact Elizabeth Gilbert at Elizabeth.gilbert@crownjewelclub.org if you are interested in helping.
Peace and Love!
