Signs of School Opening
Making signs has been a part of my life for almost 30 years. The original construction of Great Oak / Quaker Farms and Center School signs were made right when I got out of Art College in Boston. They have not been touched since and were really beginning to show there age. I originally worked with my father at his sign shop but went on my own 14 years ago so I could be a stay at home mom but still provide income and keep doing the work I loved to do. Now two of my kids are at Great Oak and the youngest is entering the first grade. I want them and all the students to be proud of the schools they attend and the entrance signs should be first impression. I asked the Board of Education if I could refurbish the signs and wanted to donate my time to do so. I feel this town has supported my business and children and wanted to give back something. The signs were constructed of redwood a material that is to last a lifetime. But the paint and artwork on them does need to be kept up.
