For the past four years, Superior Elementary School has participated in National Small Business Week, held this year from May 4–10, with a student-led service-learning project. Each year, students choose a unique way to express their appreciation to the community, and this year’s effort may be their most impressive yet.
“In the past, we’ve made posters, cleaned sidewalks, created thank-you cards, sanitized doorknobs, which is a favorite among the kindergarteners, and even helped clean buses and worked in gardens,” said Carissa Kuhl, Superior Elementary School Counselor. “But this year’s project has been the most incredible.”
The students partnered with Michelle McCracken of Michelle’s Crafty Classes to create colorful window art for the Mineral Community Hospital Clinic. The idea, completely student-driven, involved designing individual pieces of artwork, which were then submitted to McCracken.
