Law said the mural is a "dream come true"
for her. Some of her students talked at the
unveiling ceremony and answered questions.
First grader John K. said the paintbrush
buddies were his favorite part of the project.
Takiya P., a third grader, said the mural tells
everyone about friendship and unity. Second-
grader Collins W. said the mural was made by
"me, my friends and my school family."
The question to kindergartener Macy
H. was, "Are you proud of the work you
created?" Macy's answer was an emphatic,
"Yes!"
Bourne said costs for the murals range
from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the
number of children involved. Folsom's project
was possible through the school's fundraising
efforts, cash donations and in-kind donations
for labor and materials.
