Twelve students and two staff members painted the mural that says, “Choose Kindness. It matters!” Mountain Ridge High School Sterling Scholar Chelsah Thomas designed the mural.

After completing the mural, the student council made posters and invited all students to write ways to spread kindness. They shared their thoughts on sticky notes.

Great job, Copper Canyon Elementary students and staff, spreading a positive message to your community.
