The school beautification projects will transform our educational spaces into vibrant and inspiring environments. In partnership with local artists, students and volunteers will create murals that reflect the values of community, diversity, and service. These murals will grace high-traffic areas such as hallways, cafeterias, and playgrounds. The creative journey begins with brainstorming workshops where students express their ideas and visions. These ideas will be sketched and refined in collaboration with artists, ensuring the murals truly represent the community's spirit.

We are in need of volunteers to support the Art Coordinator with the design, painting and installation of panels for the School Safety Desk Make-Over. The school safety area is the first area that a visitor sees when they enter the building and we want to make sure that the area is inviting, welcoming, and inclusive for all who visit.

The volunteers will paint the panels with the students and work with site staff to secure the panels to the desk.

The overarching goal of our beautification project of the main lobby is to develop interpersonal relationship skills, conflict resolution, design planning while creating a welcoming environment for all friends upon entering the building
