The Zephyr Legacy Wall Before & After!

Located outside Mahtomedi High School and the Chautauqua Fine Arts Center, the wall received a beautiful refresh this spring thanks to the talent and generosity of Mahtomedi parent Dan Greene.

Since 2013, the Zephyr Legacy Wall has recognized individuals and families who have made a lasting impact on Mahtomedi students through their generosity.

Thank you, Dan, for helping keep this special spot looking its best!
