Art Club At Crofton Elementary School Mounts Mural As Tribute To New York Tragedy

At 7:45 a.m. on Friday, November 9th, children at Crofton Elementary School will mount a 4 x 8 foot mural depicting many different aspects of the New York City tragedy. The United States Flag can be seen under the entire painting which also includes the World Trade Center at one edge with flames surrounding it, the earth a "thoughtful" sun and multi-cultural angels in the corners. The sun indicates that the tragedy touches the entire earth.

The art teacher calls it a "visual prayer."

The mural will be mounted outside the entrance of the gym. About 20 students are expected to come early and set it up. The media is welcome to attend and interview students about their experience.

Crofton is a magnet school for highly gifted and talented children in Northeast Denver.
