If I could’ve gone to Carl Bolle Elementary School as a child, I would’ve been the happiest child in the world. Carl Bolle Elementary is a festival of design where it seems that kids want to go to learn while they laugh.

There are secret holes in the walls, observation towers (sounds high,but it’s not) and just about [every color of fluorescent light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clever-school-desk1) known to mankind.

The whole building encourages friendship and interaction, as well as creativity and ingenuity. I wonder if they struggle to get the students to go on summer vacation?
