WALKER, Mich. Across each school building, the administration building, and bus garage at Kenowa Hills Public Schools, there is green.
The color is all over windows, on posters in the hallways, and in art projects by the students.
The green represents mental health awareness, and marks the newest project at the district, Paint Kenowa Green. The goal is to talk about mental health at all grades, and to get the conversation started about how the students feel.
