Our Place In The Peaks, is a collaborative work that brings together K–5 students, Manitou Springs graduates, teachers, and local artist Sallie Hall. It is both a song and a mural, created to reflect the spirit, history, and natural beauty of Manitou Springs.
The song is a warm, folksy tune that paints a picture of our town and its surrounding landscapes. Through their voices, the students describe Manitou as a place where individuals are free to be unique and where everyone is cared for—a message that reflects the heart of our community.
Complementing the song, the mural transforms these words into a vibrant visual story. Created from the perspective of our youngest students, it highlights beloved landmarks, natural features, and everyday moments that make Manitou Springs so special. Together, the song and mural capture both the past and present of our town through the eyes of those who will shape its future.
