When Brooke High School first opened it's doors to students, one of its first traditions was to have art students paint murals on the wall reflecting the culture and spirit of the times. Over the years, alumni visiting the school have come to cherish and remember their years by first being reminded of the memories contained in these murals. Walking the halls of the school brought back the good old days and reminded us of the meaning behind the words to the Alma Mater:
Hail to Thee our Alma Mater
To Thee we'll be true.
All hail to the ideals which you stand for
All things old and new.
So through the years we shall remember
All that you've meant so bold.
Forever to stay within our hearts
Our Brooke High green and gold.
Sadly, in December of 2007 some of these treasured memories were painted over- whitewashing the visual memories that current students and alumni have come to cherish.
A grassroots campaign to have the murals restored to their original beauty was started and promises were made that there would be a restoration of these murals. Two years later NONE of the murals has been restored ; it is shameful, deplorable and far from acceptable.
Please sign this petition if you care about having these murals restored to their original beauty and maybe we can make a difference. I will personally present this at a future board meeting and we will demand that our voices be heard.
Thank you very much...
