TOSS completed a five weeks summer camp program, which served 123 students, with 37% on full scholarship. Our program highlighted neighbors as The Catawba Nation, Waldensians, Central Americans, African Americans, and Hmong. We utilized resources like bilingual books (gifted to us the community) but also created custom assets where materials were not available, such as content-specific coloring sheets and lesson plans.

We completed the installation of three murals and blessed them through a two-day event, attended by over 250 folks. Pat Nivanh, one of the steering committee members, hosted a thank you dinner for the Community Mural Institute and artists cohort (our team of 25 who created these masterpieces), honoring them with an authentic Laotian meal. We also completed the installation of our courthouse lawn mosaic, and announced the winners of our downtown student art exhibition:

High School: Reese Reinhardt, Draughn High School
Middle School: Lydia Dupuis from Liberty Middle School
Elementary: Drip Art - Collaboration with Mountain View Elementary Students
