Mural!

Some of you might have heard the rumors or seen the primer going up at the student entrance of the Lower School.  Well, it's happening!  The 7th and 8th graders all submitted written and drawn mural design proposals, and each class voted on the designs of the other class.  From those two, Dan chose the winning design.  The Upper Schoolers have been working hard to sort out all the details, colors, and delegating responsibilities for different classes.  On Tuesday, 7th graders drew the plans onto the wall, and yesterday, 8th graders began painting the background.  Watch it grow!
