What an awesome presentation and live mural painting from @xcortada to our Sharks at New River! @BCPSCentral
@NewRiverMiddle Sharks
learned from @xcortada and @AdamRoberti of the Cortada Foundation. What does the 5 represent? I’m glad you asked, NRMS sits at only 5 ft above sea level. We ❤️ed learning about using art for climate action. 🌎
