When creating the concept for this mural, Anna took into account the rich history of agriculture, Native Americans and geographical locations of Orchard Mesa. The bees were a last minute addition after a very large swarm gently hovered over the students and families while administering handprints. The hawk is Mesa View’s mascot and also signifies the strength and determination carried within the students, staff and families of Mesa View Elementary. Thank You Mesa View PTO, FCI, Orchard Mesa True Value and Grand Junction Home Depot for supporting this installation.
