Respect Mural

This mural was developed in response to Irving A. Robbins’ ”respect” initiative.  Within the mural, students are displaying respect for themselves, others as learners, property and the environment.  Lead designer and artist was 8th grade student Giselle Koo who engaged several other students in her project, which now hangs in the cafeteria.

Imagine mural

Irving A. Robbins student Sage VanSchelt designed the mural in 2006 as a focal point as students enter our school.  It is surrounded by many handmade paper pockets which hold students wishes, goals or dreams.  Pockets will continue to be added until the black areas are fully covered.  Our hope is that students will one day visit IAR, locate their pocket by the design that they painted on the pocket’s surface and know that they’d achieved our perhaps surpassed their secret goal.
