This wonderful wall piece was created by Drayden Sweeney with a little help from Peyton Sommers (both of 3G) during indoor recess this week. Since it wasn't finished at school, and Drayden really wanted it done, he brought it home and got his Gram to help him. It represents himself, all his classmates and the three adult educators in his class. We were all touched by this thoughtful piece and feel it is well worth sharing with others in our Gretna Green Community.
