Harper art teacher, Kathleen Robinson, was awarded a grant to create a school-wide art installation that fostered conversations about individuality and making the world a better place for all.
Students read Only You by Linda Kranz focused on these topics. After reading the book, students brainstormed how they can make the world a better place. Then they each painted a river rock to represent their uniqueness. The rocks were then combined into a beautiful, colorful path in the school prairie garden. Reflecting on the project, Ms. Robinson said, “We made the prairie garden space a little brighter for all to enjoy.”
