FISD Art

Jamie Moreau and Deb Rowland helped bring a fun, unique FISD art project to fruition involving a pretty familiar sight in our community. FISD graduating seniors and kindergarteners painted the large cement pigs featured on either side of Roger and Deb Rowland’s driveway on N. Rusk This classic Fayetteville décor gets an updated look, based on the season and local happenings. This is a first for these graduating classes, and hopefully we’ve begun a tradition.
