Every spirit week, NA students of each grade are tasked to create a spirit board that matches their grade theme.
The prize-winning junior mural, “James Bond Juniors,” was painted by Katherine Guo, Eva Sirichenko, Julia Polen, Avery Cohen, Emily Horowitz, Kieri Keys, and Jamie Shen. The centerpiece of the board is a secret agent. He stands in front of a background of purplish clouds and a starry night sky. To the right, “James Bond Juniors” is written in bold lettering.
“I was really happy with how the letters turned out,” Jamie explained. “They’re very crisp.” She also added that the lettering to the left, “024,” the graduating year of the Junior class, was a reference to James Bond’s number, “007.” Katherine was in charge of painting the secret agent. She credited her success to using a “3D model for accuracy” and color theory. Behind their success, the juniors also experienced difficulties. Julia Polen expressed that they had to work quickly to meet the deadline, and that there were also “design differences” within the team.
