Her leadership and collaboration with students resulted in representing our town in a beautiful and long-lasting mural."

"Jean Rooney has worked on numerous art projects –film making, printmaking, claymation video, and mosaics - with students and staff of Millville Elementary School. Her art projects were always highly anticipated by all. We knew from previous experiences that they would be collaborative, full of opportunities to cultivate ideas and learn new skills, and well organized. We also knew that the end result would be of a high caliber…something to be proud of, admire and enjoy long after the projects ended. Jean’s years of experience as a professional artist, art educator and champion for the arts and her willingness to share her creative processes, and expertise resulted in a valuable learning opportunity for students, staff and the community. Jean is witty, supportive, compassionate, and always a joy to work with." Sandra Langdon, 2018, Educator & Arts Advocate, former Principal Millville Elementary School, NB, Canada.
