Montessori School Capital Campaign Donor Wall

This donor recognition wall for the Friends of Cedar Valley Montessori School honors the community’s flood recovery efforts through a thoughtfully layered and artistic installation. A hand-painted river mural flows across the wall, symbolizing both the impact of the flood and the strength, resilience, and renewal that followed. Donor panels recognize individuals and organizations that supported flood recovery and rebuilding efforts, connecting generosity directly to the school’s continued growth.

Colorful ceramic tiles featuring children’s handprints line the lower portion of the wall, adding a tactile and deeply personal element to the recognition. Each handprint represents a student’s presence and voice, reinforcing the idea that recovery was achieved through collective effort and shared commitment. By combining mural artwork, donor listings, and handprint tiles, the wall serves as a lasting tribute to flood recovery, community support, and the enduring spirit of the Montessori school.
