| Artist David Fichter has become a familiar member of the Hastings community. Known for his patience and positive outlook, he has a marvelous rapport with the children. | |

The Story Gardens Mural is crawling with interesting creatures - ants, worms, centipedes, even a giant catepillar. |
| Below the bench is a three dimensional view of the creatures living underground. These first graders are enthusiastically painting some marching ants. |  |
 |
We asked the children, "If you were to give the mural a title, what would it be?" |
| Some responses were "The Beautiful Garden", "The Nature Mural", and "The Discovery Mural". These girls replied, "We would call it Bugs!" |  |
 |
As the mural is coming together, excitement is building! |
