Avery Trace To Get New Murals Of School Pride

Avery Trace Middle School will get new murals to brighten up the school.

The Putnam County School Board recently approved the application of murals to be applied at outside structures using PTO funds. Principal Alma Anderson said designs include the Avery Trace “A,” Raiders icons, and themes of the school’s white and blue colors.

“And students love it, and the parents love it, and it’s going to make it look a lot letter,” Anderson said. “We’re going to put them on different places outside so that it really dresses up the buildings.”

Anderson said they’ve chosen the place the murals on the field house and a blank wall in the gym. She said the scope of the projects will depend on how much money they’re able to spend.

Anderson said the project is still early days and there is no timeline, as she wanted to wait for board approval before taking the next step forward.
