Dear Maria, What is the Cedar Mural and why are students involved in this? Sincerely, A Cascadia Parent Dear Cascadia parent, The Cedar Mural has quite a history! I asked a former parent to help me out with this one. Thank you, Pat! Read about how this project offers adolescents a chance to give to their community and have a positive impact on the neighborhood. Part of the Montessori adolescent programs is helping students find their place in the greater adult world. The mural project gives students the sense that they matter and can implement positive change.
