SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. Most students would get in trouble for painting on school walls, but students at Westside Elementary School are being praised for their work.
Principal Nikki Burke sparked the idea for students to paint a giant mural spanning several hallways after taking a walk down State Street last summer and seeing all the murals painted alongside the buildings.
“I could see my students in the images that were painted on State Street,” Burke said. “I said, ‘I want something like this at Westside. ”
Burke said the school’s community site coordinator said she had money leftover in her budget and was looking for a project. Burke worked with the school counselor to find a muralist involved in the State Street artwork to come work with students to help them paint their own mural.
