More than 710 Hopkinson Elementary School students used their bodies to create a school mural on Thursday, Dec. 18 on the school field. Hopkinson students embarked on a three-day journey that lead them to a miraculous outcome. All 710 students and school staff participated in kick-off assemblies that shared the message of the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Students were empowered to work together to build something that they couldn’t see, but that would be apparent from the sky. The goal was for students to see the value in working together in building something bigger than themselves. The outcome was a beautiful mural of the school mascot, a Huskie, built by student’s bodies on the ground. Principal Ondrea Reed worked with aerial muralist Daniel Dancer from Mosier, Oregon to make the image come together on the school field. With the support from the school PTA, local Fire Station #17 and countless parent volunteers, the image was captured from 80 feet above the Hopkinson Elementary School field.
