Nurturing Community: a Mosaic Mural that Celebrates SFC and the Excelsior

We need your help!

The Community Challenge Grant requires that we provide some of the value in the form of funds and volunteer hours. We’re nearly done and have been delighted with all the volunteer help from our community.

We’re making our last fundraising push towards our goal of $7,500 for materials and artist compensation. Every contribution helps! Donations are tax deductible. Donate here!


We are so very proud to share the completion of a remarkable project that has added vitality to our school and neighborhood environment. Our school library, located at the corner of Excelsior Avenue and London Street, now features a large-scale mosaic which stands as both a representation and a testament to the creativity and collaborative spirit of our community. What makes this project truly special is that it was a collective effort involving every student in our school, along family and neighbors. From design to hands-on mosaic-making, each student had the opportunity to contribute their creativity to this masterpiece. As a result, the mosaic not only beautifies our school but also serves as a powerful symbol of the collective spirit and identity of our community.

This project was made possible in part by the generous support of the City’s Community Challenge Grant program. Their belief in the power of community projects to enrich educational environments has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life. Additionally, we extend our deepest gratitude to Create Peace Project for the leadership and guidance throughout the creation process.
