Fourth and fifth grade members of Field’s Technology Team sponsored a schoolwide contest producing art to decorate the fence separating the two neighbors. The team designed a computer-generated grid and students colored tiny squares on the template to create their unique designs.

The winning designs were: a caterpillar, a falcon (the school’s mascot), a star and a puzzle piece, depicting the universal symbol for autism. A giant “W" will be placed in the middle, which is the logo for Louisville Water.

“We value our relationship with Louisville Water Company,” Field Elementary School Principal Deborah Rivera said. “This relationship has opened the door for so many wonderful opportunities for the students at Field.”
