Cobb Middle School held a big reveal for its mural on Friday, September 25.<\/p>\n<p>Cobb students, along with members of the KCCI adult catalyst team, created the wall-sized image celebrating the school. That brought applause from KCCI Executive Director Betsy Couch during the ribbon cutting ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Awesome! What a great job you did!!!&#8221; she shouted as the young audience cheered.<\/p>\n<p>Cobb Principal Logan Crouch sees the mural as a very visible reflection of the school&#8217;s pride in its neighboring community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is showing them that we care about what we look like just like they do. And that we&#8217;re a part of this community. And automatically that instills confidence and a pride into our students to say, &#8216;Hey, this is our campus and we love it and it looks beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Opening in 1954, Elizabeth Cobb Middle School is one of the county&#8217;s oldest schools. Much of its historic legacy is included in the new mural.<\/p>\n<p>A second, locally designed and executed piece of artwork also adorns Nims Middle School on the city&#8217;s south side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Knight Creative Communities Institute (KCCI) unveiled more placemaking murals at two Leon County middle schools this past&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411619,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-411618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
