May is bike month and a crew of WCHS artists were lucky enough to partner with JIBE to paint the public art piece Authors of Our Own Destiny, which is better known as the “big book.” Alexis Firsty, our Westlake Charter High School Art teacher took the lead on guiding these artists on designing and executing their vision for their mural.
