We have 3 exciting Pride activities that we are looking for Student Participation!
Rainbow Crossing at Crawford Park
We are looking for students to participate in the design and painting of a 40 ft rainbow/Pride crosswalk in Crawford Park, that will be unveiling on Friday June 2nd as part of the park's Pride Flag Raising Celebration. The sidewalk will be painted by students in late May with the help of Crawford Park staff, Town of Rye and pRYEde Community Group.
Youth Led Community Mural Project
The second project is the creation of a 24 ft long mural that will be unveiled at Rye Town Park on Saturday June 10th as part of a large Pride Fair and Parade Celebration and Pride Flag Raising Ceremony. Students from across Westchester County and CT will brainstorm a theme and visual together under the guidance of pRYEde Community Group and local mural artist Donna Wundeler, and then paint together in groups to create the mural. The outdoor mural will include themes of kindness, positivity, inclusion and celebration of LGBTQ+ identities, and will be displayed at various local parks for many communities to enjoy. Brainstorming begins in late April and we will paint throughout May.
Planning of the Rye Town Park Pride Celebration
Rye Town Park will celebrate Pride on the morning of Saturday June 10th. The celebration will include a "Pride Fair" with tables and activities in the covered pavilions, a parade, the raising of a Pride Flag, the unveiling of the Youth Led Community Mural and potentially with your input so much more! We are looking for students to help plan and execute the celebration, and also for volunteers on the day of the event.
