Ukrainian-born art teacher Arina McAllister has been teaching at Pevely Elementary in Pevely, Missouri, for seven years and is a favorite teacher of many of the students there.
It’s been a difficult time for her since Russian forces invaded her home country where she spent half her life and where many of her friends and family still live.
Not all the students understand what’s happening in Ukraine, but they know their teacher needs their love and support, so they created and plastered the school with colorful drawings of sunflowers to show their support for McAllister and her home country.
