Defying Gravity: A CREC Schools Story Series Across our district, students, staff, and families are breaking barriers, rising above expectations, and rewriting what’s possible. “Defying Gravity,” inspired by the musical Wicked, celebrates the powerful stories of perseverance, creativity, and community that define CREC. Check out our first video as part of our new Defying Gravity series, students from @crec_acse , @impact.rhinos , and @crecaerospace unveiled a powerful new mural on Morgan Street in Hartford—the culmination of the Creative Leadership Program (CLP), funded through CREC’s Project Prevent Grant and created in partnership with @ctmurals (RiseUp for Arts). Over five weeks, these student artists collaborated with professionals to transform creativity into leadership, healing, and community connection. The result? A vibrant public artwork celebrating resilience, unity, and youth voice. 💛 #DefyingGravity #CRECeducation #crecfirst #StudentVoice #YouthLeadership #RiseUpForArts #HartfordArts
