Justice Murals, the next step

Exciting news! Just last week, I received an email from Christine Petro from the Morningside Alliance. She encountered one of the Murals created by the 4th grade students last year and she loved the idea of a literacy Justice mural.

She is having a literacy fair at PS 165 on November 3rd. We're hopeful to have some student and faculty represetatives from The School at Columbia to lead another justice mural project for the greater community.

Here's the lit fair information:
