The Offbeat Kick-Off for Back to School

Here at the b5media Home & Dining Channel we decided to ring in the new school year with some ‘back to school’ posts. As previously mentioned, I haven’t started, but today’s the day.

I suppose you should know, if you’re looking for someone to wax poetic, on a blog, about back to school time; then I’m really not your girl. I unschool my own son and I’ve only met one elementary school I adore. If I get my way, I may just be featuring this amazing school later this week. As for the rest… I’m not a fan.

This works out though, since it’s an offbeat school opinion for an offbeat blog.

Today; maybe the most colorful school in the U.S. Some of you have likely seen this school, because believe it or not, kooky offbeat schools appear to be in short supply.

I like this one though:

Beautiful colors and for a great man. This Cesar Chavez Elementary School is located in San Francisco. I say ‘this’, because we had two in New Mexico that I knew of and I know there’s more named for Chavez in the U.S. This one is so well done. IF it’s real. Here’s the thing, there aren’t that many photos of this on the web. This one seems almost like a painting of the mural? I honestly am not sure. Look at the sky above. It’s a great picture if it’s real.

What do you think? Maybe weird pixels?

Above is the doorway to the school which is how most doorways should be painted. It’s very swirling and soothing. The people you see in the photo are there to celebrate this:

“A landmark “Solar Schools” initiative at Cesar Chavez Elementary School aimed at bringing renewable energy resources to City schools and students. Chavez Elementary is one of six new “Solar Schools” slated to receive solar power systems that will reduce the City’s greenhouse gas emissions and educate future generations about the importance of clean, alternative energies.”

Nice.

I have one more picture but again, not sure about it. It’s real, but which Cesar Chavez School it’s from, is questionable.

Beautiful though.

Now it’s your turn. All of these are images of a Cesar Chavez School. One may be fake and one may not be in San Francisco. (How do you like this knowledgeable post)? Basically I’m riding on the fact that this is the perfect school/s for Offbeat. Other than that… well, if you know something click on the comments and let me know.

I hereby promise to be back with a back to school post that I actually can comment smartly on, very soon. Hope everyone’s having the best weekend!
