Port Richey, FL - Chasco Elementary School proudly unveiled a new mural today that embodies the principles and values the school thrives by. The mural features the six houses all students and staff belong to, along with their respective mascots:
- Courage, represented by a red lion
- Honor, symbolized by an orange eagle
- Altruism, depicted by a blue dolphin
- Strength, embodied by a green elephant
- Creativity, illustrated by a purple otter
- Optimism, personified by a yellow owl
The mural was painted over the course of two weeks by artists Britt Ford and Nellie Horne, thanks to the generous support from Hub Life Charities and Hub Pro Members through the Tampa Bay Foundation. "We want to inspire kids to be the best they can be every day," said Principal Woodland Johnson. Students, artists, donors, and school officials gathered to celebrate this artistic addition to the school's courtyard.
