In collaboration with Delta Arts teaching artists, VPA students have been working on creating and constructing the VPA Flower Garden. The garden has officially become open for visitors and our entire campus community has the opportunity to enjoy this new space. Led by Mrs. Shumock, VPA visual arts teacher, students worked alongside teaching artists to create two murals in the garden - one featuring Arkansas wildflowers, one featuring a color representation of our trademark "VPA." Mrs. Shumock shared that the motivation behind the project was to, "create an inviting outdoor space where students can learn and grow. They can use the space to read, relax, or get hands on experience exploring the different types of plants and watching them grow, also." She continued by sharing that, "this project could not have been possible without the support of local businesses." Be on the lookout this week as we feature all of our generous sponsors, and be sure to check back on Friday for the big reveal as we give you an inside look into VPA Flower Garden.
