Pierrepont School’s fifth graders were asked to assist the Civil Rights Commission in creating the first student-produced holiday wreath for the commission’s contribution to the Kip Center’s Festival of Trees.
The theme of “Diversity” was used as a discussion point in class lessons during the Week of Respect . Students researched the traditional costumes of their cultural heritage and decorated popsicle people. Fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Margit Smith and art teacher, Ms. Stephanie Natiello collaborated to combine over 200 popsicle people into this beautiful wreath.
