A Visual Journey:
Belding Elementary Mural Project
 In 2011, my Art Club at Belding along with other student artists completed a 17 foot mural depicting highlights from Belding's 109 year history. The mural took 5 months to complete and a dedication ceremony was held. It is now on permanent display in the first floor hallway of the school. My thanks and congratulations to all the artists who participated.
