Longfellow students worked with art teachers Amoreena Rathke and Clinton Grabhorn and local artist Chase Gentry to create a triptych mural representing their school and community. Funded through local support and a student-led pottery and plant sale, the project involved students throughout a six-month design and painting process.
The mural will debut at Longfellow’s Spring Family Night on May 6, be featured at Artspire 2026 on June 13 (with a public Chalkfest activity), and will later be installed in the school’s outdoor classroom.
