Welcome to the 2017 Retrospective! We are thrilled to present this anthology featuring the wonderful talents of our Tools For Tomorrow students. More than ever, these creative young people need a place where they can live their hopes and explore their dreams. It has been our joyful responsibility to provide this opportunity to the children of the Coachella Valley for the last two decades. 

Tools For Tomorrow uses a comprehensive multi-disciplinary arts education curriculum to meet and develop the creative needs of both students and teachers. Through hands-on experience in art, music, drama, and writing, the children build skills and knowledge they will use throughout their lives. Our dedicated teachers constantly look for new ways to use the curriculum to keep their students inspired. 

The 2017 Retrospective anthology showcases the many achievements of our students. As you read their poems and stories, view their works of art, and watch the children in action, you’ll agree that the potential of young people in the Coachella Valley is unlimited.
