Last year, Debra Schnabel of Lynn Canal Corporation approached the Haines Borough School District with a wonderful idea for creating a colorful mural on the plain, gray concrete wall at the elementary school entrance on Main Street. The joyful mural that welcomes students to the school was the result of the efforts of many people. Artist Cara Murray persevered through the rain and wind, painting under a blue tarp tent to create an amazing piece of art – thank you! Carol Tuynman and Debra Schnabel gave advice throughout the process – thank you! Lynn Canal Corporation generously donated funding for the project – thank you! We appreciate all of the time and effort that you all gave to create such an amazing mural at the school.
