Springs’ Otay Ranch Academy for the Arts (ORAA) teacher Jeannette Fetterhoff created a life-sized Zuri zebra mascot for the school. She researched zebras before beginning, then created it with such materials as cardboard, aluminum foil, and paper mâché. She painted it with rainbow stripes and put it on a platform with astroturf and presented it to Principal Brynne Dukes.
During a recent open house, Jeannette said, “I received a lot of compliments on Zuri and many families took photos with Zuri.” Jeannette has taught at ORAA since its opening in 2014, and currently teaches visual arts. She said, “I love teaching at ORAA, and I am always thinking of ways I can add value.”
