Teachers' Dream Grant

Teachers' Dream Grant is offered to teachers' in Columbus City Schools. This innovative project increases student achievement, improves social climate, and promotes social justice. I work with students at South High School on murals through this grant. I started painting the murals with the students of South High School (grades 7-12) in 2016. South High School includes 7-8 grades as well. I've enjoyed working with and watching these kids learn and grow.

See pictures below of students and I working diligently on murals through the years.

The mural above was started during the 2019-2020 school year and has extended into the 2020-2021 school year due to the pandemic.

The mural above started during the 2017-2018 school year and was completed by the 7th and 8th graders. You can see it while passing through the 7th grade hallway.

The imagine and focus mural were completed during the 2018-2019 school year. We discussed what concepts the students would like to see on the walls of their school and this is what they came up with after a few sketches.
