Student Creates Mural
Wood River High School student Mari Flores worked with her therapist Heidi Kaminski to create a mural for the Teen Parenting Center at Silver Creek High School. The mural is in the style of artist and author Eric Carle. The mural depicts the alphabet with matching animals and insects. Mari made all of the paper and then assisted Heidi with the labor-intensive process of cutting and assembling the mural. The project was funded through the Wow Generosity Project.
Kaminski wrote, “Mari and I did this as a team with the goal of giving back to our community and to our school. The WOW! Project inspired me to teach my student the value of working together, creating art, giving to others, and most importantly feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment no matter what our ability might be. The mural was presented on Friday, May 18 to an enthusiastic audience, all of which were involved in some sort of way with the project. It does take a village!”
