"Cultural Haven" located on interior wall of Benninghoven Elementary School; Shawnee, KS

Spring 2000

600 elementary students worked with The Storytellers Inc's artists to create a lasting tribute to the cultural diversity of Benninghoven Elementary. For two weeks classes met in the art room to discuss symbols of culture and to transfer those symbols into paint onto five panels that are now posted near the library within the school. The school principal commissioned Storytellers to facilitate the project in an effort to kick off a new curriculum that incorporated cultural education on a daily basis.
