Outlets at Anthem feature Love Wall mural created by a Glendale teen

A high school artist is hoping to spread some love in Arizona through a mural she painted at the Outlets at Anthem. Influencers, families, cars and even dogs have all been photographed with the wall, using the hashtag #pinkwallaz to spread the love online. “I’m enjoying it and I’m glad they’re enjoying it. This is my first mural and my first art piece that was ever this large scale,” said Chloe Merriweather, a senior at Mountain Ridge High School in Glendale. Titled “Love Wall,” Merriweather painted an array of pink, red and white hearts with matching X’s and O’s on the outlet’s popular pink wall near the Vans and North Face stores.

Some elementary schools may close

Meanwhile, a board meeting last week set the stage for potential permanent closures of multiple Glendale schools. Due to falling enrollment, the Glendale Elementary School District Governing Board outlined proposed closures of five of the district’s 17 schools in two phases. The first phase would close Melvin E. Sine and Isaac E. Imes schools before the 2021-22 school year, with Coyote Ridge, Desert Garden and Bicentennial North potentially closing the following school year. Facing an $11 million-plus budget deficit, “GESD will ensure financial solvency by providing the community a multi-year process of reorganizing boundaries and repurposing schools by June 2021,” according to a presentation at the Jan. 28 meeting.

New guidance urges open classrooms

A New Year begins with school districts struggling with a divisive question: to close classrooms or not to close? Arizona’s COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population soared to 112, the highest in the country, according to CDC data released Tuesday, Jan. 5. Arizona’s rate was nearly double the national average. And, as of Dec. 31, Glendale and Peoria ZIP codes were all above 500 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days, indicating a “substantial” level of COVID-19 risk. While previous guidance from public health officials was to close classrooms and have online teaching in communities with substantial spread, officials now urge districts to have students in classrooms.
