“Everyone is Welcome” Now on Display at Chelsea City Hall Gallery

An opening ceremony was held last Saturday, June 28, where students and families gathered to celebrate these little artists. 

Titled “Everyone is Welcome,” the gallery features welcome signs created by third-grade students from the Frank M. Sokolowski School under the guidance of teacher Joel Fagerberg.

This heartwarming project transformed a school assignment into a powerful message of kindness, solidarity, and inclusion. Students, ages 8 and 9, designed signs to welcome and support immigrants in the Chelsea community, a topic that matters deeply to them.Each colorful sign reflects a student’s unique voice and a shared message: everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and welcome. The exhibit serves as a beautiful reminder that empathy and community-building can start at any age.

All are welcome to visit and experience this moving display.
