💚 Today, seventh grade students at Hanson Park Elementary in the #BelmontCragin #Chicago neighborhood learned about “Where Does It Go?” & explored how water travels through our communities and how wastewater is treated before returning to the #environment.

A mosaic artwork mounted on a brick wall at Hanson Park Elementary School in Chicago’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood. The piece features a large green heart made of many irregular tile fragments in shades of mint and teal. Surrounding the heart is a dark blue mosaic background with white grout lines. Across the center of the heart runs a row of small, colorful, simplified human figures holding hands. Each figure is made from bright shapes in red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, representing a diverse group of children connected in unity. The mosaic is composed of multiple panels joined together, with visible bolts attaching it to the wall.

A view of the entrance area of Hanson Park Elementary School in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago. A black metal arch reading “Hanson Park School” curves over a walkway in the foreground. Behind it, a large, colorful mural painted on the brick wall shows scenes of community and learning. The mural includes a rainbow, Chicago skyline silhouettes, children reading on a bench, a student in a wheelchair on a path, and bright geometric patterns with red Chicago stars. The words “Hanson Park” appear in the mural, and the artwork celebrates diversity, inclusion, and neighborhood pride. A partly cloudy blue sky and nearby street are visible in the background.
