The Power of Positive Murals (Grades 5-12)

Program description

Let’s make a mural to enhance your school! As a class, students will develop a concept for a mural that integrates a positive quote and unique symbols. Once a design is selected, students will work collaboratively to bring it to life! This project can also be completed with school staff as a professional development and team building experience.
