After the National Honors Society (NHS) members reviewed the art submissions for the NHS mural, they chose a design at their February 13th meeting.
According to NHS advisor Jamie Bakker, the future mural includes a Bengal Tiger with mountains growing from its back sitting in the river. Isabelle Hastings,12, created the design, which NHS students voted on because they wanted the community and school incorporated into the design. Hastings did this through the landscape, the inclusion of school colors, and the tiger.
The painting of the mural is planned to start before spring break in the Bitterroot Hall. This hallway was chosen because NHS members saw it as lacking personality. They hope to complete the mural by the end of the year and eventually have murals in other halls.
All students in NHS are required to participate, and by working on the mural, students in NHS will receive volunteer hours. They then must participate in another community service project as well to meet the community service hours needed to graduate as an NHS member in their senior year.
