CULTIVATE COMMUNITY + CONNECTION

A student’s sense of belonging is shaped as soon as they enter the doors of their school. We worked with our Wayfinder school partners at the Bronx Leadership Academy to co-create a front door mural that represents their students chosen words of belonging and community. The mural is a signal to the students and the wider community of their shared experience + connection to each other.

As students get comfortable in their new schools and classrooms this year, let’s focus on creating community + belonging. Read our new blog Mural Arts + Belonging to learn how this project worked to set a positive tone for those entering campus and build belonging within the school community.
