Students receive recognition in ‘Celebrating Art’ contest

Abbie Chaloupka, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Several high school students have been recognized for their artistic skills this school year. The competition is called “Celebrating Art.”

Each of these students created an art piece and submitted it to the contest where only 25-40% of the students that apply get accepted. Because the students were accepted into the contest, they will have their art pieces published in a hardback anthology that will be sent out. In March, the Top Ten and some honorable mentions will be chosen from those published in the anthology. This contest can also allow the art department to earn supplies for the school.
