I had no idea when I started teaching here, but most of the murals in the school have been comissioned by senior's as their gift to the school. Every mural has been painted by an alumni and all have historical significance. Maybe doing a docent led tour for staff and students would help with an appreciation for them.

The stage and backstage areas have no storage space so it is always very cluttered with equipment and sometimes just trash. The dressing rooms are definitely old and dingy! There are hundreds of students that use this space every day during school and after. The students feel like this space is at the bottom of the list when it comes to renovation or updating. In turn, it makes them feel like what they do in the space (music, theatre, etc.) is also at the bottom of the list.

work on talking with kids about "how things are going"?  Kids you've had in class previously, homeroom kids, etc.  If you know a kid is struggling, seek them out on your plan to make sure they are okay.
At the beginning of each semester, I tell my kids that I will ask a ton of questions about them and if they would prefer not to answer, feel free to say so. I have yet to have a kid tell me they would "rather not say". Most are exciting to share about their life, home, background, culture, etc.
