“THIS YEAR’S 4TH AND 5TH GRADE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A LITTLE PART OF US HERE.”

Chloe Spence 4th grade

“ALL OF THE 5TH GRADERS HAD FUN PLACING TILES AND MIRRORS. THEN THEY GLUED THEM DOWN AND, LATER ON, USED GROUT TO FASTEN THEM IN PLACE AND MAKE TILE ANIMALS AND SHAPES LOOK THEIR BEST. EVEN WHEN THINGS DIDN’T WORK OUT, THE

STUDENTS TRIED NEW COLOR SCHEMES AND PATTERNS.

AND WITH THE HELP OF MISS TRISH, EVERYTHING TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY. IT

WAS BECAUSE OF OUR COMBINED RESOURCES AND TEAMWORK THAT THIS MOSAIC WAS ABLE

TO COME TO BE. I CAN’T THINK OF A BETTER ART PROJECT TO END 5-6 YEARS OF EDUCATION AT SUCH A GREAT SCHOOL LIKE E.T. HAMILTON

ELEMENTARY.” Jason Shacket 5th grade

“WORKING ON THE MOSAIC WAS A LONG AND HARD JOB, BUT IT WAS VERY EFFECTIVE IN MAKING OUR

SCHOOL ONE OF A KIND. WE LIKE ALL OF THE BRIGHT AND VIVID COLORS AND SHAPES. IT HELPED

US TO LEARN TEAMWORK AND BE MORE COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN OUR CLASS.”

Morgan Bromley, Jenna Casole, Rachel Forsman 5th grade
