James John Fence Mural
2020 - 2021
It all started with
a little idea from
an inspired student…
Then we brought that idea to the whole school to see what themes the students of James John wanted to see on the mural…
Students shared sketches of their ideas...
They shared rainbow sketches!
They shared Black Lives Matter sketches!
They shared St Johns bridge sketches!
They shared Lions pride sketches!
They shared earth and nature sketches!
They shared community, family, & friendship sketches!
And many more really creative sketches!
Then student council took those sketches and thought about
combining all the themes into final sketch ideas...
Then it was time to begin working on the murals!
Priming the boards...
Drawing the designs...
Painting!
And painting…
And painting…
And painting…
Until it is done!
Now to be hung...
Hanging on the fence!

5th Grade
Legacy Mural
Class of 2021 - 2022
This year we were able to move our process inside…
We sketched out many ideas, and voted on a final concept for our design…
We spent many classes painting…
Everyone got a chance to make their mark.
Here it is!
Mural full of all the ideas of the 5th graders of 2021-2022!
Thank you to everyone that had a hand in making this happen again this year.

Working on the mural
Pride Club
&
5th Grade
Legacy Mural
2024
The Pride Club mural continues to be a story of rising above the negativity to make something beautiful.
For the second time our Pride and BLM portion of the mural was attacked and destroyed.
When I shared with the Pride Club what had happened, they were upset, but also moved to create!
The Pride Club Art Director and friends add finishing touches.
The whole club (3rd, 4th, & 5th) got to draw and paint on the mural
to add their personal touch.
Individual drawings and designs from pride club members on the front!
Pride Lion on the back!
5th graders had fun mixing their ideas together for their mural. This along with the stairwell mural are the legacy projects for this year’s 5th graders.
