SUMMARY: As students in south Mississippi return to school, Gulfport City Councilman Arley Flowers is using his chalk art to usher in the new school year positively. Rediscovering his love for chalk drawing, he began creating mascots on school sidewalks, starting with his daughter’s kindergarten last year. After the initial success, he has been invited to several schools in the Gulfport and Harrison County districts, including his latest artwork at 28th Street Elementary. Flowers hopes that his creations not only excite students about school but also inspire others to get involved and support their local educational community.

Gulfport City Councilman R. Lee Flowers is using his unique talent to make sure the school year gets off to a good start.
