"The theme for this mural was "The Importance of Values". The students of grades 5 and 6 researched meaningful words and narrowed them down to six. The principal, Joan Grey, suggested the word "Commitment". I suggested the word "Harmony". We both thought these were key words to a successful art project. At the end of the project, we all gathered in front of the mural to look at it and pondered the meaning of the words. It was a true learning experience in more than one sense - visual and philosophical. Congratulations to the students of Buckingham Elementary for the great job!"
