The banners are part of a district wide program “Learning Landscapes” in which design students from UCD worked with school staff to create a learning/playing area at every DPS school.  A part of the learning landscape includes banners developed by students and art teachers at the schools.

During the Fall of 2010, our art teacher, Karen Chapman, worked with 6th grade students.  They started by brainstorming a list of what was special about Florida Pitt Waller

Student designs reflect the importance of our diverse population, our sense of community with hands reaching out to help and share, the love of learning in all content areas and the beauty of Colorado eastern plains where sunflowers, mountains and luminous skies are the backdrop for Florida Pitt Waller’s community.
