As part of NASD’s participation with the literacy and arts initiative One Book One Norristown, a mural was commissioned to be installed this week at Roosevelt. The mural project was inspired by the young adult novel Shadowshaper, written by New York Times bestselling author, Daniel José Older. Mr. Older is the featured author for One Book One Norristown 2023. The mural was designed by Philadelphia artist Drew Montemayor to reflect our district and community. The mural represents a truly collaborative community arts experience. NASD students, faculty and staff, and community members worked diligently over two weeks in August to create the mural. We are extremely proud of the collaboration, creativity, and love for the Norristown area community that went into making this mural a reality.
