Avinger sophomore gifted and talented student Paige Hitt used the ‘change the planet-starting in your school’ fall project to paint a mural in the gymnasium at Avinger High School.  Paige used her design and painting talents and donated her skills and time to add this mural to the gym stage. Students are encouraged to leave the school better than when they found it.
