East Islip High School student Kiersten Galli, a member of the school’s National Art Honor Society, spent her summer painting a stunning patriotic mural with her mother and grandfather at VFW Post 2937.
“I really enjoyed creating the flag mural with my mother and grandfather,” Galli said. “I am grateful to be part of the efforts to memorialize and honor Army Staff Sgt. Keith Bishop, who was killed in action in Afghanistan.”
“We are so proud of Kiersten,” art teacher Heather Toomey said. “During her summer vacation, she used her artistic skills to take a rustic shed and turn it into a patriotic mural to beautify the local community and honor our veterans. We love that she worked with her family in a collaborative mural. This is the epitome of what art service is and why we have a National Art Honor Society here at East Islip High School.”
