One-of-a-kind river installed
at Clear Lake Elementary
Students at Clear Lake
Elementary School are cele-
brating their uniqueness with
an art project that is now on
display outside the school.
Inspired by the book Only
One You by Linda Kranz and
a school in Indiana that took
on the same task, students in
every grade painted rocks to
express their unique person-
alities. Now that they are on
display together, the pieces
form a rock river in the
courtyard of the school.
The theme of the book-
inspired project is, “There’s
only one you in this great
big world … make it a better
place.”
This will be a reminder to
students as they go through
their elementary years, and
on, that they are special and
have the power to make this
world a better place, simply
by being them, said Julia Ort-
man, school counselor.
Windsor Rock donated
rocks for the project, Egan
Gardens provided bark dust
for the display, McNary High
School World of Work Stu-
dents, led by teacher Kevin
Wise, weeded and cleaned
the courtyard area, Happy
Hearted Designs provided
a sign and the Clear Lake
Parent-Teacher Association
provided funds for items like

“I believe Clear Lake El-
ementary and the city of
Keizer is a great place to be,
because of things like this.
When an entire community
can come together for an art
project like this, you know
that each individual is help-
ing make the world a better
place for all students,” Ort-
man said.
