It was a Paint Fest! Several hundred community members came together this month — brushes in hand—to bring the eagle mural to life! The momentum continues as students keep painting through the end of May, completing their assignment for muralist Jon Laidacker’s inspiring design.
Next stop: Philadelphia, where the panels will undergo winter detailing. In spring 2027, the full vision—featuring the eagle, sky, day lilies, and butterflies—will take its place on the elementary school playground wall. Educational Improvement Tax Credit funds from Journey Bank and FNB Corporation make this possible. Stay tuned as this community-powered masterpiece takes flight!
