'We wanted to make sure that finances were not a barrier whatsoever for any of our students for our travel,' said Hawthorne principal Trish Davlantes.
The purpose is to help the school create equity in the 8th-grade class.
Davlantes said Hawthorne sends its 8th-grade students to Yellowstone National Park and to Washington, D.C. every year. But this year, in a tough economy, the trip is proving to be pricier – up to 30 to 40 percent, to $2,400. Students form more than 40 different Chicago neighborhoods go to Hawthorne. And to make sure everyone can take those out-of-state field trips, parents got creative – with a fundraiser inspired by Cows on Parade back in '99.
On the flat train canvas, Adara turned the two light-blue horizontal bars of the Chicago flag into a row of Chicago skyline landmarks on top - and what looks like a reflection of the row on water on the bottom. The buildings are all there – the Willis Tower, the John Hancock Center, the Crain Communications Building, the Aqua – even the Navy Pier Centennial Wheel and the Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park.
