Mural Design Contest
In December of 2022 LIFT began our very first Mural Design Contest for Catoosa County middle and high school students. We asked contestants to share their artistic vision of HOPE and the results were uplifting. 26 students submitted designs and the community got involved in the voting process in a big way with 1,740 votes. Our contest winner won the chance to work alongside the Artist SEVEN to finalize her design and get it mural ready! LIFT also held a coloring contest for K-5 grade students, resulting in 180 submssions. We celebrated the completion of the mural with a Ribbon Cutting on May 27!

26 Mural design Submissions
The main focus this past school year was the HOPE mural in downtown Ringgold. Student leaders were among those who submitted mural designs for the mural contest and they planned the ribbon cutting event. The HOPE mural encompasses all of the 8 strengths from Strength for Catoosa (Mental Health, Physical Health, Positive Friends, Mentors, Generosity, Spirituality, Healthy Activities, and Family Support). We believe that by spreading the message of #holdontonhope, we can make a positive impact on our community by reducing the stigma around mental health, and how to utilize each of the strengths that we all possess.
THANK YOU to our mural sponsors!
180 coloring contest submissions to our contest winners!
