HT Elementary creates an underwater world



Holy Trinity Elementary students are reaching completion
on a six-week art project, under the guidance of their art teacher, Charlotte
Laxen. They have been busy creating an underwater world in a school tunnel
that connects the elementary school to the high school. Joey Klitzke paints a water snake

First the tunnel, which is approximately 100 feet long,
was painted a light blue. All the students from kindergarten through the
sixth grade have contributed something to the giant project.

The students designed what they wanted to paint in their
water world. The final step was to draw their shark, diver, whale, crab,
underwater plants, etc., and paint them.

They have created a true masterpiece. Many have toured
the tunnel and have expressed amazement at what has been accomplished.

One parent commented, “I just love going through the
tunnel to see what has been added since the last time I went through.”
