My Project

My middle school is filled with amazing, proactive and diverse students, who work hard to build community and create a safe space for all. They want to bring color and community to our campus by painting the colors of the progress flag (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, light blue and pink) on both staircases that lead to the second story classrooms.

All students should feel seen and heard, the Progress Flag represents this.

All students walk these stairs to get to their math classes and it will be seen daily by all.

Grades 6-8
