Cramer Cottage Painting

We want to thank Benjamin Liebeskind, Class of 2007, for allowing us to use his beautiful original painting of the Cramer Cottage as our unofficial logo. Benjamin painted this when he was only nine years old!
"The prime purpose throughout is not to impart knowledge to the child, but to lead the child to observe and think."
