Among the various figurines

are firemen, Red Cross volunteers, nurses, policemen, angles, President

George W. Bush and New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani. The figures are

arranged against patriotic backgrounds and the entire work is entitled

Project Patriot.

"The whole idea behind

the project was to honor the people who were in the accident and are going

through tough times," said student Kalie Aiken. "The figures

were fun to make and they made me feel like I'm really helping."

Not only did the students enjoying

working on the project, but businesses that have the artwork on display

report that customers are admiring the students' work as well.

"Our customers have really

enjoyed having the display in the bank," said Barbara Stevens, branch

manager at Heritage Bank. "Every day I see people stopping by to

look at it."

Project Patriot can be seen

on display around town at various business and organizations including

Heritage Bank on Jeff Davis, Kroger on Ga. Highway 85 south and at the

Fayette County Board of Education.
