It Takes a Village
There is great symbolism in this. The path represents the pathway of education that lasts for a lifetime. In the distant is the city skyline of Phoenix, a reminder that the whole community has contributed to our education. Each of the boxes will include pictures of people who help contribute to a child's education.
The following pictures are from when it was still a work in progress. It took us a little over one quarter to finish it.
In addition to the mural, we had specific projects connected to the "It Takes a Village" concept. These included:
-A thank you barbecue where IMPACT students served the support staff at Borman
-A thank you blog where students shared their educational goals and mentioned how people helped contribute to their education
-Thank you letters written by students and given to people who have helped make their education possible
service hours
We ended up having over 2,000 service hours! One of the projects (which was led by the Social Awareness Club) was baking good and creating baskets for Mother's Day at a domestic violence shelter. Here are a few pictures of IMPACT students who participated:
