Our Project

This year the Chicago organization we all live here came to Albany Park Multicultural Academy and did an assembly for all our students. During the assembly, our students learned about diversity, inclusion, and some basic graphic design. The students all drew logos for the public art project that we are doing with our sister schools Hibbard Elementary and Edison Regional Gifted Center. Those drawings were collected by we all live here founder Rich Alapack so he could use them as inspiration for our official logo. Rich created 3 derivative logos that highlight all 3 participating schools in their own unique way. Our logo is on the merchandise for sale on this page. All proceeds from the sale of these products go towards the creation of a public art project on our campus. You may have seen the handprints in front of our school. That was only part of the project. Each school is also installing a laser cut steel sign that reads "we all live here" on the fences of our school. The translations will be in English, Spanish, and Arabic one for each school. Our school is a proud participant in this model program for how 3 schools can work together to celebrate their broader community. Albany Park is the most diverse community in Chicago and we are proud to be a part of a project that supports the idea that diversity is good. #wealllivehere
