What a great day October 9, 2025 was at East Midvale. Author and illustrator Bethany Barton began the morning with an engaging, curiosity-provoking, energy filled assembly about art and science communication. She read her “not yet released” new book “I Am Trying to Love Farts” which you can imagine was a crowd favorite! She wove research and information into the story which helped us all understand the science! The rest of the day brought student after student, parent, East Midvale and District staff to the evolving mural with a paint brush to add a unique flare. Ms. Barton finished the day by adding everything you see in white to the mural – our EME messaging and her own creative characters and shapes.
Thank you UWSL, HCA, and the East Midvale PTA for funding this day of caring. Thank you to HCA volunteers, district support and parents for managing paint cups and brushes, aprons and 450 students painting.
