We're thrilled to announce that our talented muralist, Holly, and her team will begin the All Nations Mural Restoration Project this Friday. We know how much this mural means to our school and the wider community, and we're working to finalize specific dates for its completion and celebration. We are also planning dates for alumni, students, staff and community members to come in and participate in the mural's creation, and we will share those dates with you shortly. As part of the design process, we held two listening sessions in April, and the team of artists used the invaluable feedback gathered from those sessions to develop the designs you see in the photos on this page. Please take a moment to review the images (Mural Design Concepts) at the bottom of this page and let us know if you have any feedback for us. Email feedback to ahmed.amin@mpls.k12.mn.us. Principal Amin will forward that information to Holly and her team. For the most up-to-date information, please check back to this page, where we will keep our community informed. |
