Absarokee High School students are learning the process of painting a mural. The focus is on public art for the community to enjoy and as a community service project. The artwork theme is based on outdoor recreation. In this case, a fly fishing and rafting scene with brown trout rising to a summer evening caddis hatch. “I designed the artwork and act as ‘art director’,” said Absarokee art teacher Mr. Mullen. Students paint most of the design and Mullen shows them his gridded pattern design that is transferred onto the wall with oil pastels. The students use the shapes that Mullen has drawn as the color boundaries.

A new playground accompanied the new school year in Rapelje this year.

The $100,000 playground replaced outdated equipment that had been in place since 1996.

And it’s not just for the kids. It’s a community playground, complete with benches and picnic tables.

“It’s used by the entire community,” said Rapelje School Superintendent Dennis Gerke.

In fact, Gerke said the playground was made possible by the entire community, as well as businesses in and out of Stillwater County.
