Murals in Progress
In the times we are in (2021), it is a challenge to "work together" when we cannot be in the same space.
But, with cooperation and flexibility, we are able to meet and work on the design stages of murals via Zoom and will be painting two at a time on outdoor walls. The projects below, and 3 others, will be completed by June 2021.

Description
From the Tobias Teachers & Staff:
Cristina Almeida Our hands and hearts come together in strength, gratitude and hope.
Casey Baker Together, we grow and flourish. Together, we reach toward greatness
Faye Baltazar The outer hands symbolize the teachers/staff who help mold and shape the student’s futures. The Students are at the center of the community at the heart. Through togetherness and unity, we are able to shape the younger generations.
Brooke Clark My idea was to have different skin tones of hands putting together a puzzle, representing that we all have different skill sets and talents and that together we can solve problems and make things happen.
Jeanne Conroy MHT, School, Community, support each other
Miranda Correll "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much"
Katherine Harsono Stronger Together Unity in Diversity Celebrate the strength of togetherness in a world of Diversity and Kindness
Jennifer Kwon People from all over the world come "together" to form a whole family.
Kim Lee My message is unity because we only have one earth and all our differences should be embraced.
Betty Lew Marjorie H. Tobias Elementary encompasses a school community filled with diversity and love- working together in unison to strive for unity and commitment to peace and friendship.
Cathy Macay "This is a unity symbol, a symbol of hope (rainbows). It denotes togetherness, nature, and life skills - which were 3 of the themes we voted on. Also, it (sideways eight) is known as a lemniscate - which is mathematical''.
Molly McDermott Peace, love, strength, unity, caring, love, learning, forgiveness, hope, kindness, integrity, honor
Victoria Ngo Togetherness to me means our community—which is diverse. Now more than ever, inclusivity is important.
Michael Smith Ants focus of their community first, think ahead, and don’t give up.
Melanie Sowyrda Although we can not physically touch, we do our upmost best to support our families, students, and colleagues. We draw our strength from the energy of our earth and from one another.
Anoushka Takla Together we endure and support our collective growth. This goes with the picture of the Coastal Redwood grove.
Ashley Tomlinson We stand together. We are stronger together.
