Black Mountain town officials visited Black Mountain Elementary for the official unveiling of a new mural at the school entrance. As we’ve shared, art teacher Jolie Atkins designed the mural this summer to help develop a sense of belonging among the Warponies.
Tuesday, Black Mountain Mayor Michael Sobol and Vice Mayor Archie Pertiller joined Mrs. Atkins, principal Bill Honey, Buncombe County Board of Education representative Greg Cheatham, and the BCS senior leadership team to see the completed work.
“We are so appreciative of our Black Mountain town leaders,” said BCS Superintendent Dr. Rob Jackson. “They are always supportive of our students and teachers, and we all share their pride in being in this special community.”
Associate Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Reed, Assistant Superintendents Dr. Jamie Johnson and Chip Cody, and Chief Financial Officer Tina Thorpe also participated in the celebration. After the mural was unveiled, Mrs. Atkins signed her work, which will welcome Warponies for many years to come.
