CARES Book Club Selection Sparks Arts Initiative

Inspired by The Berwyn CARES first book club selection, "How to Walk to School: A Blueprint for a Neighborhood Rennaissance", a group of Emerson School parents has formed the Emerson Arts Initiative with a goal of infusing the learning environment with art. Here is a look at a time-lapse video of their first mural as it is created by local artist and parent, Miro Ledajaks. Have a look!

Several Emerson parents attended the author talk given by Jacqueline Edelburg last spring at Heritage School. Moved by Jacqueline's determination to improve her neighborhood school by changing the environment, the group set out to make some changes of their own to Emerson. Representatives will give a short presentation at the next District 100 Board Meeting on Wednesday Aug. 24 at Heritage at 7:00 pm.
