Homecoming

The rock (really a boulder) was delivered to it's home at REV on Saturday. It is located in front of the REV Art Gallery doors in the right side planter. Now it needs to be positioned in the final spot so Scott can start sculpting the wildcat to fit the rock.

Rock Climbing

Today we chose the base rock for the wildcat sculpture. Artist Scott Krohne (on top of the rocks) will model the wildcat to fit the shape of the rock. Our first thoughts upon driving into the rock yard were that the rocks all looked like piles of potatoes! I am sure that REV Principal John Maloney and RUSD Chief Academic Officer Paul Cullen (they were the contacts for the "rock guy") did not think it could possible take so long just to pick out a rock, but we finally found the perfect one!

Here's our perfect rock! Many thanks to the "rock guy," Pat Casey! He'll deliver it to REV on Saturday.
