Classroom to the Streets: Lynn Classical High School ?? Students from Lynn Classical High School and their Art Teacher and Beyond Walls Classroom to the Streets Teacher Fellow Kendra Truffa joined us downtown on a gorgeous fall day! Fall mural tours with our teacher fellows and their students brought our CTTS program full circle as the students were able to learn about their teachers’ summer project with our artists and learn from the murals firsthand in this immersive experience. Kendra’s Lesson Plan derived from her fellowship will live on at Classical for many years to come and we can’t wait to have more Classical students and teachers out on tours in the future! ??

Help us raise $100K by the end of the Year! ? https://lnkd.in/eZfYtX-X Since 2017, we’ve partnered with artists, residents, businesses, educators and government leaders to bring art at a HUGE scale to communities all across Massachusetts. But we can’t do this work without the support of those who believe in the Beyond Walls mission and our team of staff, volunteers, artists, and teachers. So, we’re calling on you all to help us at a pivotal moment for our organization. We are trying to raise $100,000 by the end of 2024. Every dollar goes a long way for small nonprofits. We thought we would share a few examples of where your dollar goes. Check outexamples of Beyond Walls donations at work! Please make a gift today to help us reach our goal and to ensure that we can continue this work in more communities. ??
