In recognition of community helpers, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students worked together to create a work of art as a gift to our local fire department. As students explored the important roles of firefighters in communities, they created works of art that focused on fire trucks, the John J. Harvey Fireboat, and firefighter silhouettes. These smaller works of art were then assembled together to create a large composition.

This honorary collaborative artwork will hang in the Bettendorf Fire Department located on Spruce Hills. Rivermont Collegiate is currently planning a trip to deliver this work of art with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade Student Council Representatives. These select students will represent Rivermont as they meet our local firefighters, express their gratitude, and gift the artwork.

The artwork will be delivered to the fire department on Wednesday, September 24th at 11:00 am to 11:15 am.
