South Bay recently completed a Unity Mural project. Thanks to the school’s PTA Cultural Arts program, artist/author-in-residence Joyce Raimondo, in conjunction with South Bay art teacher Melinda Fischer, provided an opportunity for all South Bay students to have a hand in the creation of the mural during their art classes.
The mural depicts aspects of the growth mindset being explored and implemented in West Babylon schools this year. The scenarios in the mural are meant to show that individuals with a growth mindset know mistakes are opportunities to learn and discover, practice is necessary and desirable if one is to attain mastery of a skill, and multiple creative approaches exist to accomplish one's goals. The mural will be displayed in the school’s main corridor.
