Thank you to Mrs. Michele Chartrand for creating this AMAZING mural in our PreK wing!

Mrs. Giroux asked Mrs. Chartrand to liven up our PreK hallway, and that she did! It took her over 1200 hours, coming in only on evenings and weekends to work on it, due to social distancing. The mural includes 56 different children’s book references, 19 Catholic images, and 11 “Easter eggs” to find, including our janitors, Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Chartrand! (And yes, there’s a key 😉). While it was designed for the younger students, we have heard the older students get excited when they spot their favorite characters from when they were younger. It’s also a great resource for our teachers, who can use the walk to the mural to stretch little legs, and then tie in their ELA or religion lessons to images in the mural. What a generous, and truly thoughtful gift Mrs. Chartrand has given to our school for everyone to enjoy.
