MILORY STUDENTS LEAVE THEIR MARK

Grantee Update: Milroy Economic Development Corporation

Did you do this whole thing by yourself?” asked the young girl standing in front of Milroy’s amazing new mural. “Not anymore,” smiled artist, Lance Woskobojnik. “I’ve had 125 helpers!” The students from Milroy Elementary School had the opportunity to add their own brushstrokes to the mural. It was a scene that brought goosebumps to some looking on. The experience even inspired Lance to take his design in a new direction. What an amazing experience! SEE ALL PHOTOS
