Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Staff, students, and volunteers will spread the positive acts of respect, work, and belong from the walls of our school in to the homes and communities of Caledonia, Minnesota by creating an extended mural portraying the Warrior Way. We will be collecting data on the number of participants in painting and preparing the mural. We will also keep track of the number of people that attend our community-wide open house as we reveal our work. We will create videos and news stories that will be in the newspaper and on our website showcasing the process and products or our labors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We transformed our building from a re-purposed high school to a welcoming elementary school. Community volunteers were supportive of the students, working together for a common cause.
