When you work with kids, to give them a voice in an environment that is particularly harsh, crushing and potentially foreshadowing of hardship to come. It is important, in my opinion, to foster flying when possible. To rise above the hurdles and let them not hinder dreams and goals.
Our resident art teacher, Jenni Ward, brought down a large oiled drop cloth and paints. Teachers and Students alike decorated it with hand prints. Then the HOPE Art team doodled all kinds of things onto the mural, to inspire flying.

Wings
Pegasus
Birds
Angels
Flying pigs
Dragons
you name it, we doodled it.
We'll be hosting an art show this Summer to show off our mural. The finished product is beautiful, but the process to achieve it is even more so.
