Maya Angelou inspires DVES students in colorful expression of diversity

Matamoras. Delaware Valley Elementary School teacher Mrs. Danielle Zito teaches empathy to all of her students, kindergarten through fifth grade. They discussed, in-person and virtually, the significance of appreciating their own individuality, respecting the differences of others, and celebrated the beauty of their collective diversity. Mrs. Zito shared a Maya Angelou quote to serve as inspiration. Each student selected a color of their choice to paint a monochromatic artwork for a collaborative mural in any way they pleased for 60 minutes of fun. The halls are decorative and very colorful as a result. (Photos by Peg Snure)
