For the third year in a row, fifth-graders at Sunrise Drive Elementary School left a little bit of their "legacy" behind on a school wall for fellow students and the community to see.
About 90 students at the school, 5301 E. Sunrise Drive, worked for two months studying, researching, writing and making the tiles for a mural that was installed last week.
The fifth-grade Legacy project is coordinated by the school art specialist, Gili Sherman, who worked with four fifth-grade classes and local artist Gail Roberts to produce the tiled mural.
"What's nice about the project is that students learn about working together to create a public art legacy," said Sherman. "The whole school gets involved with the project. Fourth-graders have already come up to me with ideas for next year's project."
Students made hundreds of tiles for the mural.

"When the fifth-graders grow up they can come back and show their kids," said Garrett Baker, 11, a fifth-grader himself, who worked on the roadrunner in the mural.
