Yesterday Alissa Ess, School Social Worker and I began going down South Bell Avenue to do the first community survey about the mural project. It took two hours to go down just one side! We met and talked with the littlest and the oldest and everyone in between. We distributed flyers.
Reactions ranged from wonder to amazement to excitement. Got some great ideas ... "something that makes the kids happy..." "... something that reminds them to keep up their hopes - and that they belong in school ..." "... bumblebees..." "... school buses... with their faces looking out the window - to remind them they belong in school!..."
We're working our way through the neighborhood. If we haven't been to your house, we'll get there soon, if you're on S. Bell, Inger, Grigg, or Amhurst - and hopefully you can spread the word from there!
