PAINTING WITH A PURPOSE is a project geared to beautifying W.C. Longstreth School in order to continue our efforts to create a warm inviting environment for scholars, families, staff and community members who wish to utilize our space to give back to the community. Our scholars deserve to walk into a clean building filled with color and a story. We not only want to paint we want to tell a story. At Longstreth our scholars learn the importance of legacy. This project will allow them to leave one!
