An elementary school celebrated the unveiling of a new mural, the culmination of a year-long fundraising effort. Renowned Musqueam artist Debra Sparrow was commissioned to create this artwork, which was designed to illustrate the meaning of the school’s name, serve as an act of reconciliation, and share the history of the Musqueam in the neighborhood.
The students played a significant role in raising funds through various projects, including a recent Makers' Market. Classes from kindergarten to Grade 7 participated in applied design, skills, and technologies projects to create items for sale. After school, families were invited to the market to view the students' creations and support their fundraising efforts.
The completed mural brought immense excitement to the school community. It stood as a testament to the collective learning and collaborative spirit of the students, teachers and families, all working together towards a common goal.
