Barnett Elementary students participated in a creative project to celebrate America's 250th birthday, according to a notice on the school's website. Students worked together to create a giant bald eagle and an American flag using feathers and handprint cutouts.
As part of the project, each student wrote about the freedoms they are grateful to enjoy in America. Using leftover feathers, Mrs. Wilde created a life-size bald eagle that is displayed in the school hallway.
The project was intended to serve as a reminder of what can be accomplished through teamwork, creativity, and doing one's best.
