Alpaugh USD Summer Kickoff - Hip Hop Performance and Live Grafitti Mural

Campo Creativo  brought some local artists to help with Alpaugh Unified School Districts kickoff to their innovative Summer School program.  Board members Josh Levine and Jerret Johnson, the Hip Hop duo called The Faculty  performed for students and engaged them in some mindfulness, call and response, plus some beat making!

It was an incredibly engaging event for the community of Alpaugh and we were proud to play a small part in it.
