Project Comments
Here are sample comments regarding the project:
"Our youth are still talking about participating in the program and keep asking when the control tower will be decorated so that they can go view it… this project was a great experience for our youth and has increased our youth’s self esteem and provided them with an activity to help beautify our community."
- Don Rodriguez, Executive Director, Boys and Girls Clubs of Long Beach
"Not only did our students get to leave their mark by painting a portion of the tower, they also participated in group discussions on social issues. This reflection on social issues and how it relates to their lives is a perfect fit. The planes the students painted are now on display with an explanation of their social issue. Each one of us feels privileged to be a part of something bigger that will stand as a monument. We can not wait to see the beautiful change the control tower will bring in the coming months!"
- Kelly Kurz, Educator, Stanford Middle School, Long Beach
