Parent beautifies Fallbrook Street School campus

FALLBROOK – Lately, Fallbrook Street School (FSS) appears slightly different. Upon entering the campus, both visitors and students enjoy colorfully painted walls containing messages about developing good habits and leadership.

Parent Jina Boudreaux is given all of the credit for the recent beautification of the campus, although she credits FSS principal Stephenie Martinez with the initial ideas for the walls.

"She listens to my input and then trusts me with making a few adjustments to her plans," said Boudreaux.

Boudreaux first began the facelift project in November. Since then, two other walls have been completed. The artwork, which fills spaces as large as 60 feet wide, takes about one week for Boudreaux to complete. The hardest part, notes Boudreaux, is standing on a ladder.

"I prefer a scaffold," she says the amateur painter who has never taken any art lessons. Painting, along with sculpting, is something she picked up on her own.

A parent of a child with special needs, Boudreaux is only too happy to paint for her daughter’s school at no cost.

"I am doing this for free because this school takes such good care of my daughter. They are helping her," said the painter. "This is my way of saying ‘thank you.’ It’s that important."
