New “Celebrate Richland” Media Center Mural

Please stop in the Samuel Chellino Media Center to see our wonderful new mural.  The mural is a collaboration between Richland School students, staff and 3 student artists from the University of St. Francis.  The artists began designing and painting the mural last May and finished the project this fall.  James Green, Nicole White and Julia Oliyaparathu donated their artistic talents to make this awesome mural come to life.  Each piece of the mural depicts an aspect of Richland student life featuring community, academics, sports and the arts with the main piece focusing on the lifelong love of reading!
