And, a heartfelt thanks to the Sponsors of the Teen Aprentice Program who helped make this project and its benefits to teens a reality. The new mural is a magnificent achievement in children's art that demonstrates the lasting beauty that comes from commitment, talent, and leadership this collaboration forged. It is also a clear demonstration of our childrens' potential to achieve when they are given the opportunity to learn and grow assisted by caring teachers. Hopefully, these young mural artists will be remembered and applauded for their creativity, planning and execution for years to come. Amazing things do result from our community working together for good. Congratulations to all involved.

As a Bad Dog parent, I have watched my child blossom as an artist under their tutelage. I am so excited that there is a program like TAP that she can "grow" into; finding mature ways to express herself and explore her relationship with her community. What a wonderful experience to look forward to! Bravo to Ruby and her apprentices. They've done wonderful work!!
