Owego Free Academy students and staff collaborate on a Southern Tier-themed mural for GHS Federal Credit Union with students and staff from Chenango Valley and Oxford. The completed mural officially debuted at the GHS Federal Credit Union’s Front Street, Binghamton branch at a ceremony on June 24th. One school from each of the three counties, Tioga, Broome, and Chenango, served by GHS created a unified relief mural depicting aspects that visually represent their county. The OFA tech department helped cut out the counties to scale and art students from each school designed and created the wooden relief symbols seen in their corresponding county. The OFA art department stained the counties, Chenango Valley art students painted in the rivers/streams and the entire piece was installed by CV art teacher, Matthew Wilson. Anna Hodges and Kayla Newman were the two OFA art students who designed and painted the Tioga County symbols that Adam Williams cut with OFA art teacher Jolene Williams. Incredible work by everyone involved in the project! #OFARiverHawks #sOArTogether
