MORGAN PARK — Students at Clissold Elementary School in Morgan Park worked alongside local artists to create a "peaceful playground" on Saturday.
Students and parents from the school at 2350 W. 110th Place were led in the effort by the Beverly Area Arts Alliance.
The
peaceful playground consisted of a series of designs painted directly
on the blacktop between the Clissold school building and the green space
often used for recess.
“Peaceful Playgrounds enhance learning, prevent bullying and promote positive social interaction on the playground,” said Susannah Papish, a Clissold parent and member of The Alliance.
