For this year, the 5th Grade Legacy Project is the gate for the Sangre Ridge Elementary Outdoor Classroom. Laura took the lead, and worked hard on the painting of the door. Here is an excerpt from her Graduation Memory:
"... one of my favorite memories is definitely painting the 5th grade legacy gate. It's such an honor to be part of it. All those hours under the hot sun paid off. I enjoyed it immensely. It makes me feel proud to leave behind such a meaningful project. The gate was challenging, but that was why it was so fun. I learned much about working with oil-based paint. Be careful! You don't want any of it in your clothing or hair. I learned it hard way. It's quite permanent for a while! Anyway, every stroke was a stroke of enjoyment. I really liked working on it..."
On the last day of the school, a Ribbon-Cutting ceremony was held for the gate. Laura was chosen to do the cutting with the teacher. It was quite an honor.
What a great way to conclude the year!
At first, I thought it was for a zoo. :) (you know we just came back from a zoo trip)
