ALBION – A group of Albion eighth-graders spent today painitng a flower-themed mural on a utility building at Bullard Park.
Two years ago, students in teacher Kamie Feder’s art classes painted the back of the building with colorful flowers. On Thursday and today, students painted the sides and front of the building.
They used leftover paint from the previous project.
“We wanted to make it fun and colorful,” Feder said. “Otherwise it’s just a tan building.”
Ayme Vallejo Morales works on painting a flower on the building. The students all designed their flowers for the mural.
This building used to be the bathrooms at Bullard Park until a new pavilion with bathrooms opened in 2021.

There were eight students working on the project on Thursday. Today’s group included nine: Schomske, Ayme Vallejo Morales, Mackenzie Cook, Cordelia Rivers, Tra’Monie Walker, Adelaide Pettit, Sophia Bouchey, Nate Wehling and Arian Fazliu.
Some of Feder’s students also painted a “Welcome to Albion” canal mural on the fire hall last fall.
