Richmond High School: Project Cafeteria

This past December, my friend Kay and I decided to give a gift to Richmond High School.  (Kay's alma mater)  We both have been wanting to work together for a while.

I thought that this wasn't going to happen. For many months, we both kept busy with work, and regular lifestyles.  And, the system was kind of hard to work through. So just as we both were going to step away, the doors opened up once more.  It was a great way to begin the Christmas cheer by being cheerful givers.

Concept and Execute:
The key words we were given to work with in October were: Nutrition, Culture, and Diversity.
We elaborated more and added wellness, and healthy pleasures of life to that vision.
We imagined that food and recreation were a big part of everyone life, and it is the main way that most people enjoy life: hobbies, the fair, traveling, and recreational exercise.  
To make the best of the time frame we had we decided to do large vignettes, instead of full wall coverage. We worked with about a dozen volunteers, and a strict timeline. Missioin accomplished in 10 hours.

This past weekend was our last workday of the year for Compton Initiative.  We were at Roosevelt Middle School and Compton High. Thousands of volunteers came out to repaint the entire school's exterior, and a about 200 volunteers came to paint and boldly brighten up Roosevelt's campus with 3 murals.  Thanks to the entire leadership team; these days never happen without you.  Kudos for finishing the year off strong as our lieutenants and leaders.  Check out what we did on Saturday October 15, 2011.in the mural department. I personally had the privilege to re-vectorize the school pledge, and design the We Are Roosevelt Mural.  Thank you to my clean-up artists: Ruthy and Audra.!!!
