Fence art at nature center

Maya Harpavat (pictured), a rising junior at St. Agnes Academy, earned a grant from the National Charity League’s Heart of Texas chapter, which she put to use by completing a project at the Nature Discovery Center. During the pumpkin patch last fall, kids and adults were invited to paint part of a picket fence. Maya’s goal was to create an opportunity for families to later walk by and spot their art on display. The installation was postponed due to coronavirus, but Maya recently installed the fence. She says, “I think especially in this time where people aren’t able to see their friends and family, a sense of community is even more important as we stick together and support each other.” The fence is visible as families drive north up Newcastle.
