Members of the South Plainfield High School National Arts Honor Society finished a months-long project to create a new mural on the West wall of Chaumont Post 243, which was designed by SPHS student Leyla Rodon. The students were led by Ella Kloby and supervised by Erin Donnelly and Kristen Brinkman, the NAHS advisors.
Additional supplies were provided by Legion members Bob Bengivenga and Rich Doerr. Sherwin-Williams of South Plainfield also helped with a discount on paint.

Commander John McConville said, "The students and teachers, with the help of parents, did a great job on completing the patriotic design. We've received many compliments on the mural."

Earlier this month, the students pictured below were treated to a pizza party at Chaumont Post 243, The American Legion.
