These dedicated students are contributing their artistic skills in two shifts; morning and afternoon to bring this vibrant project to life. The image below captures the mural’s impressive progress, and it is expected to be completed soon. Special thanks to the Santa Cruz County School Superintendent for providing this incredible opportunity for students to showcase their creativity.

Our students are excited to bring back new ideas and make a positive impact locally.
