Small Acts Produce Big Results Posted on the Montclarion a publication of the Contra Costa Times on Friday, June 11, 2004 Article by Montclarion Staff Reports Wishes can come true, if you find the right "genie." Just ask Michael Scott, an East Oakland school principal. He had a dream to energize the student body and beautify the campus at E. Morris Cox Elementary School. But without the money, he needed some magic to pull it off. What came instead was divine intervention, from the Faith Network of the East Bay. The group hooked Scott up with Berkeley muralist Edythe Boone, who shared his mission and saw the benefits to the school and the neighborhood. The mural was unveiled on the playground this week and the sense of pride was heartwarming. You hear plenty of bad news about Oakland schools. But the good news comes from small acts of kindness like these. Contra Costa Times
