    That is neat!! Katie’s high school had a huge graffiti rock on the front lawn – I think Herndon HS did also. I prefer a building!!!

    What a great idea! I’ll be the kids had a ton of fun painting this house. The first thought that crossed my mind was, “United we stand!” ‘cuz I could just see this house swarming with happy kids united in spirit. Love it! Hugs, Terri xoxo

    Love this, Patty! When my daughter had her third child, she had the older kids put their hands in paint and paint a border all around the baby’s room, it looks so cool!

    I’m sure the kids had fun doing this and are super proud of their achievement!

    It’s always nice to recognize young people and those who aspire to be artists have a special place in my heart. How generous of you to share this colorful beauty. To be able to create “graffiti” in a positive way is truly great. Whoever was in charge of the program deserves many a pat on the back.

    Just wonderful… Our new high school has a “spirit rock” where graffiti is welcome. I hope to see as good of messages on that as your building.

    this is really wonderful, in so many ways. to get kids in their teens to use their imagination and talents is so important. wouldn’t america benefit from a house like this in every town?

    uh oh this is a fantastic idea, what a great way to bring teens together and express themselves, tfs jenxo
