Congratulations to the Westbrook Middle School Art students for completing several new community art projects for all to enjoy. The newest project is the WMS Falcon Mural. Created by 6th-8th graders and facilitated by Ms. Jacobs and Ms. Goan, the mural utilizes concepts related to the elements and principles of design and color theory. A VERY SPECIAL shout-out to our one and only MS. GOAN for facilitating this project and so many more over her career at Westbrook Middle School. We wish her the very best in this next chapter. We know she will continue to inspire those around her and will spread her creativity wherever she goes next.
