Around the State Sunday - Ocean Gate School Unveils Mural!

Our latest YAM Participation Post comes from Michelle Dillon.  Michelle is an art teacher at Ocean Gate School in Ocean Gate, NJ. 

Michelle writes: "Unveiling Ceremony of Mosaic Mural. Students' ceremony was during the school day. Adults from the community will be invited for an unveiling ceremony on March 10, 2020. Every child in the school made tiles and helped place them into the mosaic. It was interdisciplinary, focusing on native species. It took 5 months to complete, working with an Artist-In-Residence from Perkins Center for the Arts and using a Title IV State grant."




Congratulations Michelle and the art students of Ocean Gate School!
