Minnesauke Students Celebrate
International Dot Day 2013
Making Their Mark
Minnesauke Elementary School students endeavored to make their mark on the world by creating colorful, dot-filled murals and art projects in celebration of this year’s International Dot Day. After hearing the story “The Dot,” which launched the global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration in 2009, the students began discussing the importance of not letting the fear of failure get in the way of trying.
Art teacher Christine Becker coordinated the project at the school and assisted the students in the creation of the murals. The completed pieces, which are meant to inspire students as they begin their journey of self-discovery, are on display in the main lobby of the school.
Keeping with the theme of the event, students and staff members also helped to mark Dot Day by wearing polka dot-inspired clothing to school.
This year’s international celebration drew more than 1 million participants from 82 countries.
