Atwater Avenue Elementary celebrates LA River Day with a mosaic project, a new mural honoring the LA River plus lush new landscaping across the school entrance
Students, Parents and Staff of Atwater Avenue Elementary School invite the local community to dig in with them to celebrate the LA River Day of Service on Saturday April 30, 2011, from 8am until 12noon. Volunteers will be planting over 100 indigenous plants as part of their new beautification landscaping project, designed by local landscape architects Rebecca and Colin Rudolph.
To be unveiled that morning also is a huge soaring mural for the school wall facing Perlita Avenue , designed by local iconic artist Rafael (whose work can also be seen at Vince’s Market).
Plus, a new mosaic project for the school entrance, designed by local community member Kacy Treadway, and made by the Atwater Avenue Elementary 6th Grade Students, will also receive its finishing touches.
“Our day of service is a perfect way to further unite our community and our school,” says Principal Mr. Charles D. Smith . “ Atwater has such an amazing legacy and history, which flows through our school (founded in 1922) much like this iconic river defines our neighborhood. Our school campus is so close to the river that we are inspired to honor it with these dedicated projects.”
