Fast Forward: Painting a Wall at Russell

The subject of this week's Fast Forward is painting a wall at Russell Elementary School.

In this week's Fast Forward feature, we stopped by Russell Elementary School last Saturday for Global Care Day. Local company LyondellBasell sponsored the company-wide event to give back to a local school. This year, they and spent the entire day building, constructing, planting and painting.

We caught Nina DuBois, Walt Cheryba and Alex Gerhard, a Russell student, painting a side wall of the school to create a blank canvas for a future mural of the state of Pennsylvania the school hopes to create.

Editor's note: Fast Forward is a fairly new feature for Marple Newtown Patch. Each week, we’ll take a slice of life in our community and put it on fast forward. We hope you’ll look for it every Thursday starting at 11 a.m.
