The Dallas ISD school was selected as one of only 24 schools nationally to win the gift after participating in Crayola Creativity Week in January.
Lipscomb received $3,000 in Crayola-provided Walmart gift cards to purchase furniture and decor for the makeover. Walmart pitched in with $1,000 in gift cards for teachers to use to purchase additional items for the lounge, and Crayola gifted the school $1,000 worth of art supplies.

Volunteers from Crayola and Walmart’s Supercenter assembled Friday at Lipscomb to redo the space with new furniture, paint and decor, refreshing it just in time for the new school year.
