Cinfed Credit Union unveiled their Community Art Wall at their new Colerain branch on June 26, 2024! Our Taylor Elementary, Colerain Elementary, Colerain Middle and Colerain High School students have their artwork displayed on the artwall! #NWLSDgobeyond
Inspired by this year’s theme of “Reach for the Stars,” our NWLSD students painted what they imagine when they look up into the night sky. The beautiful display is a mix of dreams and aspirations, with each piece of art as unique as the person gazing at it.
