Inside 10 boxes at Bowmar Avenue Elementary School, more than 200 ceramic tiles that served as symbols during one of the school’s most defining years sit in storage.

Now the school is inviting those who designed the tiles to come get them. The tiles were removed from Bowmar’s front wall due to damage and adhesive issues.

Featuring images such as trees, birds, flowers and stars, the tiles were painted, glazed and placed on the brick wall in front of the school during the 1994-1995 school year as part of the learning grant “Makarios!”, a Greek word meaning, “What joy there is in this place.”
