Two of Jonathan Law’s National Art Honor Society students, senior Hannah Swenning and junior Leah Milewski, have come together to paint a mural at West Shore Middle School.

West Shore principal Mr. Cavanna contacted the NAHS and Swenning and Milewski decided to take on the project. They had full freedom to come up with the idea on their own and that’s exactly what they did.

The mural will depict West Shore’s logo with their mascot, a wildcat, in the middle. Once that is completed, students and faculty at West Shore will put their hand prints around the logo and sign their names.

“We are trying to incorporate the teachers in the mural,” Swenning said.” We want it to show a sense of unity.”

After all the renovations West Shore has done over the past couple years, the mural will help create a of community because it is something all the students can be apart of and enjoy.

“Their time, creativity and craftsmanship is a great example of the school spirit at both West Shore and Law,” Cavanna said.

Swenning, a graduate of West Shore, felt that doing this mural for the school was an opportunity to leave her touch. She felt glad that other people can enjoy something she took part in.

“I do think it is pretty cool that I get to put my touch on a school that I used to go to, especially after all the renovations that have happened,” Swenning said.

Milewski did not attend West Shore but she felt good about painting something for another school. When others complimented them on their work, it gave her more motivation to work harder.

“It still feels special to paint this because I enjoy helping other schools,” Milewski said.

Cavanna feels the mural shows how creative and hardworking Law students can be.

“West is best because of these two remarkable artists,” Cavanna said.
