Juniper Creative Arts is a Vermont-based Black and Dominican family collective that facilitates community mural projects with colleges and universities, K-12 schools, and community-based organizations. They are nationally recognized muralists, facilitators, and educators with a mission-driven practice of creating art that both involves and celebrates historically excluded communities. They use visual art and murals to lift up the voices, images, and people that are often left in the margins. Their work and vibe is inspired by their cultural and spiritual lineages, urban art, Hip-Hop culture, the mystical, and the natural world. They believe in the power of the arts to heal, bring people together, build community, and create dialogue. Their mural initiatives involve developing a shared vision and visual narrative that speaks to and honors the collective voices of the community who they are working with.

Drum Daddies
Here we are drumming with the Drum Daddies! This was so much fun. These musicians were so talented and kind!
Readers' Workshop
In reading, we are beginning a new unit of study on comprehension strategies, and have been reviewing and perfecting our decoding skills. We are reading some fun Folktales from different cultures and have been incorporating some important fluency skills into this work. Each reading group has a folk tale that they are reading together, and have been practicing a readers' theater play. This makes fluency skills fun and relevant to the students. We will be inviting families into the school to watch our final performances soon!
