ART
Middle School art students receive honors: Kayla Avent, was one of 20 first place winners that earned scholarship opportunities offered by Nebraska’s 529 College Savings Plans. Kayla entered the “Draw Your Dreams Scholarship contest and was one of 230 entries in grades K-8 grades.
Emily Goff-Kelsey and Savannah Santos Bishop are showing art work at the ESU 9 office building. Their work was selected after Mrs. Wassinger submitted it last spring. Students that were selected to show their work were honored at a reception in October, and they will receive copies of the book, “The Dot” and have their work framed. This service is being provided by ESU 9.
