TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Just months after a colorful crosswalk was painted over outside Sabal Palm Elementary School, Ridgeway Street has a colorful new addition.
A lengthy banner was unveiled in front of a roaring crowd of students Friday morning. The banner is attached to the front fence of school.
More good news:
The art piece includes 138 portraits painted by Sabal Palm students during art class.
“It was awesome and I’m very proud of myself,” student Josiah Oliver said.
Sabal Palm art teacher Brenna Alonzo came up with the theme for the mural: ‘community is family.’
“It just kind of came to me that everybody has different families, but when we come to school, it’s like one big family,” she said.

Alonzo was impressed with the results.
“This is like a first chance for them to be published and feel what it’s like to have people see your work,” she said. “And that is something I think they can take with them forever.”
The Knights Creative Communities Institute, or KCCI, spearheaded the effort.
