Making Crafts For Mom This Mother's Day

Students at Embers Elementary paint flower pots for their moms with donated supplies.

Second graders at Embers Elementary School in Park Ridge planted geraniums in mini paint cans and decorated them for mom with supplies donated by Certa Pro Painters and Sherwin-Williams.

This is the second year that Certa Pro has organized the event and several schools in the Chicagoland area participate. "It's fun to see the kids having such a good time," said David Nolte, a Certa Pro franchise owner. "My mom loved when we did stuff like this."
