Every Woman Can became a big supporter of the project. I made a visit to their
office in early February and asked if they would be interested in saying a few
words about the project on the documentary video that Rogue Heart Media was
creating. Not only did Deb Barnes, CEO of Every Woman Can, agree to speak,
but they then went above and beyond, supporting the project and EF students.
They included a selection of the student’s public art pieces to promote their “Pink
Ribbon Run” held on April 23, 2017. Seventy-two of the East Farms student
works were selected to create banners that hung from the lamp posts on Post and
Main Streets in downtown Spokane. Our EF kids painted the town pink! It was
spectacular and what an honor for our students. No other elementary school in the
US has had this opportunity.
