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
