Description
Starting from the left hand side of the mural is life now with Covid and all the essential workers like farmworkers, grocery store clerks and delivery workers that have risked their lives to get us food on our tables and items we need on a daily basis.We also wanted to acknowledge and honor the nurses and health care workers that have helped and taken care of our loved ones who are sick. Under the nurses are mycelium growing and connecting to heal our life force.
The cocoons on the middle left side represent the transition of our ancestors and the butterflies above symbolize their spirits protecting and guiding us.
In the center of the mural are hands planting seeds. During the pandemic many of us have found joy and solace in planting and growing our own food. We are going back to the basics of life and talking to the earth. Mother earth will heal us, we just need to tend to her as well.
Next to the garden an Abuela sews masks to protect her family and community, a young girl is painting a mural on the ground representing the community and artists coming out during shelter in place to paint boarded up businesses and creating in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests. A transparent flower grows within her.
Behind her is a graduate drive by celebration showing us moving into a smarter future and the hope that we will be able to hug our loved ones again. The grandmother and granddaughter hugging turn into a heart representing family is the heart of our community.
The bottom right side of the mural is water coming from Juana Alicia's mural La Llorona which turns into the fabric being sewn into a Serape to guide and flow through the entire mural.

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.

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

Description
A circle of students, representing different countries, stand holding hands around a globe encoded in peace, as a sunflower blooms brightly behind them to symbolize growth, beauty, and vital energy. More flowers blossom from between the sunflower petals. A rainbow stretches the length of the mural, bridging the cityscape on the left with the sunny beach on the right. The rainbow supports a breadth of playful activity; dinosaurs graze beneath a flying robot, imaginative trees and flowers blossom from between the rainbow colors, and a food truck zooms down the colorful bend, bringing healthy fruits and veggies to students for lunchtime. On the right, the lion, the Longfellow mascot, gives the school a big hug, symbolizing love and safety and camaraderie. A dolphin splashes between the waves, just barely escaping a pokemon ball.
All of this unfolds from the center, as our students stand in solidarity with one another, returning once again to our message of Peace on Earth.
