Opposite Page: Walker School students share in the joy of reading in front of the school’s Recycling Mural. The 32’ x 15’ mural was created in 2012 by the school’s staff and art club, led by art teacher Hillary Andrlik, who was named the Illinois Elementary Art Educator of the Year (2012). The mural is based on the style of Gustav Klimt and includes several recycled elements, including re-used canvas and lids from frozen orange juice cans.
