The “soft” dedication of a mural by Shanah Cooley on a wall at Palmer High School between Boulder Street and Nevada Avenue.

Speakers at this soft dedication include Shelly Roehrs, LWVPPR spokesperson; Laurilea McDaniel, School District 11 Visual & Performing Arts Facilitator; Lara Disney, Palmer High School Principal; Dr. Michael Thomas, School District 11 Superintendent; Beth Malmskog, a director of League of Women Voters of Colorado; jury members Jerima King and June Waller; and the mural artist, Shanah Cooley.

A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for December 10 from 12:30 to 2:30 pm. Donations to cover the cost of this mural project are still needed. Donate here: https://lwvppr.org/content.aspx?page_id=305&club_id=750758&item_id=8103
