When the kids came back to Anansi Charter School just north of Taos last week, they could hardly believe it was the same school. Well, it really wasn’t the same. Now, it was twice as big with staff and contractors having worked long days all summer to make it happen.

The entire inside of the original school was completely renovated for Kindergarten through second-grade students. Third-through-Fifth-graders got a huge, brand-new addition, including new classrooms, a second well-stocked library, and a bank of brand new technology stations.

Outside, it’s almost like a theme park, with plenty of play spaces and playthings and plenty more still on the way. Michelle Hunt says nobody believed her when she said they could get all this done over summer break. But, they believe it now.



Parents and children were all involved in the makeover, with the little ones voting on some of the outdoor equipment, in the best democratic tradition.
