The "Greeting From Alto Pass" postcard mural is nearing completion, with only the wording to add. It is created by Art Club and CYCA (Cobden Youth & Community Advocates) on the side of the Alto Pass Fire Station. Both clubs would like to thank Rusty's Home Center in Anna for their generosity regarding help with supplies, the Basler family for helping with moving the boards, art student teacher Coley Zralka for offering up her expertise, and Ms. Margarita Bartolo for her help painting the wording on the mural. CYCA is voluntarily sponsored by Mrs. Jamie Nash-Mayberry and Art Club is sponsored by Mr. Jeremy Crawford. Both sponsors would like to thank the students for their dedication and hard work on this community project. Pictured below are many of the students who had a hand in the project, a few couldn't be present for the picture due to other commitments.
