Woodbridge Art Students Create Train Station Mural

Art students from Woodbridge Township’s three high schools, along with a group of senior citizens, created a Veteran Art Mural Wall at the train station in downtown Woodbridge.

The students from Woodbridge, Colonia and John F. Kennedy Memorial high schools worked with artists from the Evergreen Senior Center on the project at the NJ Transit Station on Main Street, a news release from the township said.

The mural is a tribute to local soldiers and veterans from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm and the War on Terrorism in the Middle East, according to the township news release.

The art project was sponsored by the Office of the Mayor, the Woodbridge Township School District administration and Board of Education, and New Jersey Transit.

Some 27 Woodbridge High School students worked on the War in Afghanistan and Desert Storm murals; 20 students from John F. Kennedy Memorial High School handled the Civil War, World War II and Vietnam War murals; 14 Colonia High School students worked on the Revolutionary War and World War I murals; and 12 senior resident artists from the Evergreen Senior Center worked on the Korean War mural.
