The word is out!

I'm excited to discover people are visiting the school and catching the vision!  Children are positively affected by the way their school looks and we need to come together as a concerned community to do something about it.  The principal and parents at Haskell Elementary School agreed with me and asked me to come in during the summer to brighten up their playground with some color.  It made my day when I got that call!  Con mucho gusto!  The enthusiasm when school opened in September was off the charts and now they are contemplating another mural.  This time we hope to get the whole community involved so they can see they have the power to do for themselves.  

Lesson learned: Pick a wall that is not in full sun if it is summer in L.A.!  February and March are much cooler and the sun feels good.  Only one word comes to mind:  BRUTAL
