Create Peace Project In The News!
In the Fall of 2022, Create Peace Project spent two months on location at Sanchez Elementary School, in San Francisco California. Ross Holzman and his team led the creation of an 800 square-foot mosaic mural with 300 kindergarten through fifth grade students. All students participated in the project. This project was sponsored by local FinTech company Ripple. Thanks Ripple!! Yesterday October 2 ABC seven news came out to capture the action for a news story
