Students at Bell Top and Donald P. Sutherland Elementary Schools created colorful rainbow murals to celebrate kindness and cooperation in their schools.

For the art project, students traced their own hands, added illustrations and then cut out their individual designs. All of the hands were arranged to make a beautiful rainbow.

Next to the mural, a description reads:

“We use our hands to help us get ready for our day and all day when we are at school. They are kind hands that can help others. Our hands are unique in color, size, and shape. When hands come together they are as beautiful as a rainbow in the sky. Smile and use your hands to help yourself and others work together to make a better school and a better world. This mural was made by students in kindergarten through grade five.”
