Bright exploding colors stop you in your tracks. The long, glum and gray wall connecting the World Language hallway to the Art/Career Tech wings is now vivid and full of overwhelming eye-candy.

Critter Yard Cards are eight-foot tall wooden cutouts of characters from various movies and television shows. Attached to the character is a message that is personalized to read “Happy 18th Birthday Sam!” or “Happy Sweet Sixteen Olivia!” Over the course of this school year, this product has really taken hold among students, as barely a day goes by without Spongebob, Homer Simpson, or Bugs Bunny adorning the entrance to the parking lot.
