"Blossoming" MuralP.S. 249 partnered with Thrive Collective to create this vibrant and uplifting outdoor mural. Fourth and Fifth grade artists worked for several weeks in the Winter and Spring of 2020 on sketches that displayed their heritage, hobbies, dreams, and other elements of personal and cultural identity. With guidance from of our Thrive partner, Peach Tao, these sketches were converted into large-scale drawings and brought to life in our mural entitled "Blossoming." The mural integrates these drawings as well as the national flowers from the many countries our school represents. "Blossoming" is a vivid expression of the constantly growing, blooming, beautifully diverse lives within our culturally rich school community. A highlight of 2020!
