Colorful smiles and creative hearts filled the halls of Chisholm Elementary as students received a generous donation of more than 35,000 Crayola crayons from Montgomery-born artist Herb Williams! 🎨💛

This act of kindness didn’t stop there! Students at Dalraida, Flowers, Carver, MacMillan, Blount, Bear, and Nixon Elementary Schools also received vibrant bundles of crayons to spark creativity in their art classrooms.

A huge thank-you to Herb for coloring our students’ world with imagination and joy! 🌈
