Have you heard of the Cheat Mountain Salamander? Congratulations for Art Teacher Ms. Cress, Fairview students in grades K-8, and the Fairview Community! They are recipients of a WV Department of Arts, Culture, and History and National Endowment for the Arts grant to complete a Rural Youth Engagement Public Art mural project that will feature rare, threatened, and endangered species of WV. The project involves a local guest artist, recycled bottle caps collected since 2018 by the community, families, and students, and the engagement of hundreds of community members. Students will be encouraged to be inquisitive and research while applying math, writing, speaking, science, and social emotional skills in a learning environment stimulated by art to build confidence, fun, and awareness of conservation and ecological awareness, notes Ms. Cress. The final product, an 8-foot by 12-foot mural will travel to local outdoor activities before permanent installation on the campus of Fairview Middle School. The students will design and oversee the future mural from beginning to installation.
