Art teacher Mrs. Allie Christoforetti engaged her students at Level Green Elementary School in a rock garden project.
The students gathered outside the school on a lovely September day. Each was given a rock and an array of paints and markers to transform it into a piece of art to add to the garden in front of the school. Each student was given the directive to paint a rock that was unique to him or herself. Some students created kindness rocks with positive messages, and others created designs that made them happy. The rock garden, as a whole, represents the vibrant school community and the individuality of every member.
