On the first day of class, RAA Middle School students will see a big, new mural on their school s front wall. The project was made possible by the current Leadership Tallahassee Class, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.
The artists for the giant image, showing RAA s many educational offerings, was Sarah Painter and Cosby Hayes. It really has been an honor and special experience to bring the campus to life and to have the kids come out and help paint was really special, said Painter. Maybe we can do more at all the other schools in the county, quipped Hayes.
