The Katherine Anne Porter School successfully hosted its much-anticipated Where Everyone Is Welcomed poster campaign event recently, bringing together students, teachers, parents and community members in a vibrant celebration of creativity and inclusion. The Commons at KAPS transformed into a collaborative art studio where participants created powerful visual messages affirming the school’s commitment to being a safe haven for all young people.
The event, inspired by national conversations about inclusive messaging in schools, exceeded expectations with community members joining KAPS students and staff to design posters that will be displayed throughout the campus and local public spaces. The colorful array of artwork featured messages of welcome, acceptance and belonging – reinforcing KAPS’s reputation as a place where creativity and compassion flourish.
“In typical KAPS tradition, students, teachers and administration joined together in a mission of unity,” said Superintendent Mariah Ingram, who actively participated in the poster-making. “I can’t wait to see our creations out in the community. When we make our values visible this way, we strengthen both our school and our broader community connections.”
