My Project

Our school adopted Leader in Me last year and one of the cornerstones of that program is to have students' work represented around the building. We had students come up with a rough draft, enter it into a contest, and chose several students who will execute the final project.

We need wall-appropriate paint to make this mural a reality.

All 196 students in the school will have a hand in making it. It will give students ownership in the building, as well as an attractive and inspirational piece of artwork to look at every day. Parents who come for assemblies and conferences will see how their children all came together to create something special that will last for many years.
