Community Project
The fall of 2019 I met with my neighbor, Steven Payne, to plan his community project to become an Eagle Scout. He wanted to return to his elementary school in Burbank to beautify the worn out handball courts at Edison Elementary. The city thankfully replaced the worn out panels and primed them for us. In a matter of one month we agreed on a environmental theme, drew the pictures, organized students and community volunteers and worked hard painting to finish it all by Halloween. When all the parents came out to see their children in the parade they were blown away by the new murals shining brightly. Burbank city sprayed them with a clear coat to protect them from UV rays and grafitti.
