The art students of Whistler Elem School painted a new mural that is really beautiful, very detailed and very inspiring and runs the length of the main front entrance hallway. The bright, vivid colors and wonderfully cheerful geometric shapes do a terrific job of brightening up the school’s primary entrance and creating a very welcoming, positive atmosphere. All week long, parents, staff, and community members who have been visiting have been commenting on the beautiful, professional-quality artwork and have been expressing pride in our exceptionally talented and committed young student artists.
