ART From Across the USA

After the 911 attack, Global Kids met to discuss their concerns and feelings. Everyone was most concerned about the children who lost a parent. Each Global Kid wrote a letter to a child who was touched by the WTC attack. Then, the group got together with sponsorship from Stop&Shop and supplies from Wal-Mart and Home Depot and created a mural of "Hope".The Global Kids hope to be able to share the mural at Comfort Zone Camp where children who lost their loved one's on 911 will meet as a group.Kiddie Academy of Sparta has donated over $1,000.00 to Comfort Zone Camp.The Kindergarten class used their hand prints to frame the mural of "Hope".For more information on Comfort Zone Camp click here.
