Deer Creek Intermediate School installs commemorative wall
Deer Creek Intermediate School recently finished installing its third tile wall as a way to help the students become part of something larger than themselves and to commemorate the naming of the former Deer Creek Middle School to Deer Creek Intermediate School housing fifth- and sixth-grade students.
Each student had a chance to sign a tile and some of the students painted quilt patterns in shades of blue to join the other two tile commemorative walls in the front of the school.
Bonnie Gull, the school’s art teacher for more than 23 years, was approached by Principal Marshall Ottinger at the beginning of the school year with the idea of making an art piece to tie in with the opening of the new intermediate school. -
