Verde Elementary mural inspires students to reach for the stars

By Kathy Chouteau Richmond’s Verde Elementary unveiled a vibrant new mural this month with the inspirational title, “Reaching for the Stars.” Although, due to the pandemic, the students didn’t have a hand in painting it, they did play a major role in its conception before transitioning to remote schooling. The mural, which adorns the exterior front entrance to the school, was made possible through a $7,200 Neighborhood Public Art Grant from the Richmond Arts & Culture Commission. Work kicked off in January 2020 and the project was completed earlier this month. “It’s this idea that they’re working with students to reach their maximum potential,” said Yvonne Rogers about the mural’s theme. Rogers works as an unconditional education coach from the Seneca Family of Agencies, which partners with Verde on student support.
