This article will discuss who is going to be doing the mural, what the people are making it might do for the mural, and where the mural might be.
For this mural, there are students of Prussing school doing this project mainly the 7th graders. The idea for doing this mural was made by one of the teachers of 7th-grade teachers known as Mr.Khadri. Mr.Khadri, to make this idea had some help from fellow teachers such as the art teacher. The art teacher has given the 7th-grade sheets of what they think the mural should look like. The date that they are starting the mural is when it starts to warm up like in the springtime.
The location of the mural is still unknown but the students have a few places they could put it. The locations consist of, Jefferson Park, Portage Park, or a random place in the neighborhood such as an alley, near a restaurant, etc…. For the mural even the Alderman of this ward has approved the painting of the mural.
