NorthmenNews: This year there was a new education quote on the wall. Whose idea was it to add that to Oak Park?

Dr. Skretta: I have seen the quote a lot of different place and I really liked it. We had a little bit of money left over from last year’s senior class and it was inexpensive

NN: Do you know how teachers and the student body reacted?

S: So far I’ve heard positive comments about the new quote. Most everyone seems to like it

NN: Will you be adding any more in the future

S: Yes. I would like to work on putting more quotes and pictures up around the school and on the walls upstairs; there is a lot of extra space about the lockers. The FACs hallways have some pictures on the wall as well that were put up by the interior design class. They came to me with the idea. Cara Donnici has also made a suggestion for the art club to maybe add some new things on the walls as long as they have district approval.

NN: How did the quote get on the wall?

S: The same people who have done some murals around Oak Park, in the gym, and in the district. He also added the senior mural from last year.
