School Murals
In our beautiful school, there are artistic murals on most hallway walls. All these beautiful murals were painted and created by Judy Will from www.judywill.com
Because we are an ARTS school, the murals represent our arts side. The murals incorporate the Village Theatre, Dance Village and other art based co-curricular events we do!
