This spring, we are thrilled to host muralist and art educator Caren Frost Olmsted as the entire school transforms the Glenwood school lobby into a 360° custom mural.  Every student and our lucky parent volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in this exciting project and leave a lasting mark at our school.  Our K-4 students paint their part of the mural on canvases during their regularly scheduled art period.  The mural will be installed in the main lobby of our school, where our children, faculty and parent community can see and enjoy it every day.
