Members
of Tampa Prep's Coloring the Community club, led by Mrs. Martha DeAmbrose, spent
countless hours during the spring semester and over the summer at A
Brighter Community, painting murals throughout their facility. A
Brighter Community, Inc. is a non-profit, United Way supported,
nationally accredited preschool and family support program serving
economically and environmentally at-risk children, ages 3-5 years.
Teachers
from A Brighter Community helped Tampa Prep’s group plan various
educational themes for the group to paint along a 120-foot wall. Scenes
included a food pyramid, numbers and letters, "Jack and the Beanstalk,"
characters from the book “The Rainbow Fish” and more.
In addition to the work this club
performed, our Science and Art departments will be working together to
develop their day care's garden and another mural to accompany it.
