All Kindergarten classes helped create this beautiful sunflower mural in the elementary art room. Each child's work of art was positioned for a photo and then the photo was printed on a poster. The students had a lot of fun looking for their work of art in the mural! This is a perfect spot for a photo op during the art show on Community Night in the spring. What a great group of artists!
