Public elementary school in the States offers parents a wide-open opportunity to support and enhance their children’s education (where would they be without it?).  For me, this meant painting the art room, ripping up the tarmac to create a garden, printing football shirts, producing a “Trashion Show”, and bringing The Sustainable Living Roadshow to town.  The PTA was a force to be reckoned with, spearheading a multi-school campaign against cuts to education and they needed to be taken seriously.  A broadcast debate required a giant stage-wide backdrop integrating 3 languages and some noticeable t-shirts to create a unified message to represent multiple voices.
