Ben Milam Mural Philanthropy

The Ben Milam Mural Philanthropy is a mural contest (hosted in the spring by the sisters of Lambda Theta Alpha Beta Eta Chapter) for every 3rd grade classroom at a local public school, Ben Milam Elementary. The goal for each classroom is that they construct a large mural that exemplifies the principles of unity, love & respect. The students are then allowed to use their creativity in portraying these principles while also being reminded on how essential it is to work as a team. The classrooms are given a time frame of a month to work on the mural before they are picked up by the sisters and judged by the sisters and a selected group of judges. The classroom that best exemplifies the principles of unity, love & respect receive a pizza party and a class set of children's books for their classroom. The second place winners receive a class set of children's books for their classroom. This is a yearly event that both the students and teachers enjoy to participate in. The Sisters are always surprised by their ingenuity.
