Tim Burton Exhibit

The green shiny double decker in front of Platt with a talkative smiling well dressed driver on its steps certainly brought  an excitement to a calm uneventful morning on 63rd Street in front of  Platt. Fifty one students and four teachers are hurriedly boarding the bus as none of us rode in such a luxurious [...]

Platt brought Second Place from the 2011 US Open Sandcastle Competition
