Mural @ Maple Grove

Dear Maple Grove Families,

After countless hours of planning, taping, painting, and touching up, our first school murals are complete! We are so proud of the dedication and determination of our MG Art Club students. They worked tirelessly (3 lunch hours/week for 9 weeks!) to bring these murals to life. If you haven’t had a chance to view them, they can be found on the south side of our school, next to the gravel field.

Our theme, Reconnecting with Nature, centered around celebrating the beauty and importance of BC’s natural spaces. Each 11’ x 6’ mural was designed to be painted in a geometric style using tape as a guide. The four murals are entitled: Sunset, Lighthouse, Dogwood and Sea to Sky.

Once again, we want to thank all of those involved (from the fundraising donors to the Maple Grove artists) for contributing to the mural making process. We encourage all future grade 6 and 7 students to consider joining the Art Club next year for more creative adventures.

Warmly, 

Ms. New, Ms. Iris & Ms. Gjernes
