This year, UrbanHealing Houston has hired a professional artist to create a large-scale chalk art piece on Benson Street, right in front of the Louis White Grocery store. We are collaborating with local students from the community, and we would love to engage McReynolds students in this exciting project.

We welcome participation from all grades, and there is no age limit. This is a wonderful opportunity for your students to create live art in the community, alongside a professional artist. If you would like for your student to participate please email your information to Urbanhealinghtx@gmail.com.

The event is free and open to all students and their families. In addition to the street chalk art, we will have a variety of cultural performances, live music, over 75 vendors, a reptile petting station, book giveaways, robotics engineering class opportunities, and much more.
