About the event
The Historic Downtown Gresham Association is proud to host the 33rd Annual Highlight My Hero Coloring Event, now open to all elementary-aged students (K–5th grade) in the greater Gresham area, including public, private, online, and homeschool students.
Attached you will find:
A cover page for teachers to complete (one per classroom), and
A coloring page template for students to create a portrait of a real-life hero in their lives.
Students are encouraged to celebrate someone who inspires them—someone who protects, provides support, makes a difference, or has had a meaningful impact on their lives. This event is a special way to honor caregivers and role models of all kinds. The artistic medium is completely up to each student.
Completed coloring pages will be displayed as classroom collections in the front windows of participating small businesses throughout Historic Downtown Gresham for one month.
