"Our girls loved having a space to connect with one another and creatively express their sense of themselves, their community, and their school. They had a ton of fun and scheduled their own extra meetings to keep the conversations going!" - Tom Krebs, CEO of Kansas City Girls Preparatory Academy We had an amazing time working with the students at KC Girls Prep and helping them brainstorm ideas around what they wanted their mural to look like as a part of the SpraySeeMO Mural Festival 2020! Just another shining example of how high-engagement experiences drive student involvement and learning passion.
