Longfellow brings crosswalk to life with a roar

Longfellow Lions paint their new ‘themed’ crosswalk under the direction of Mrs. April Geist, art instructor, and with the assistance of City of Mitchell employees, i.e. lion tamers.

If you travel 1st Street on the east side of town anytime soon, be prepared to witness a new Leonine crosswalk next to Longfellow Elementary School.  The themed street painting, a cooperative venture of the City of Mitchell Streets Department, the Longfellow Art Department, and a pride of Longfellow Lions, blazed forth in black and gold splendor on Monday afternoon, May 10.  The students enjoyed both the creation of the project and the end result, a bright, interesting new crosswalk just outside the front door of their school.
