A portion of the mural created by Wolf Trap Elementary School.

On May 12, Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts proudly unveiled a new mural created by Wolftrap Elementary School, titled “Nature’s Lullaby”. Braving the unseasonably cold, rainy weather, a small crowd gathered for the great reveal. All students, over 600 in all, worked on this collaborative effort which resulted in an 8 ft by 20 ft mural. The mural was inspired by the park and is symbolic of the diversity of performances that can be seen during the summer performance season.

The director of Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, Mr. William Crockett, and the principal of Wolftrap Elementary School, Dr. Anita Blain, welcomed the gathered guests and celebrated the partnership between the park and the school. Other speakers included Mr. Terre Jones, President & CEO of the Wolf Trap Foundation; Ms. Julianne Giampapa, mural designer and art teacher at Wolftrap Elementary School; and the 6th grade Student Council president. The school’s All County Chorus, under the direction of Ms. Carolyn Dorey, also performed.
