Welcome back!

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!
A late but well deserved congratulations goes out to Susan DeRoche for placing 1st in her division for the National Junior Federal Duck Stamp contest for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW this past spring. I spoke to the state coordinator and Susan's beautiful colored pencil drawing got very close to the top of the competition. Her hard work and perseverance paid off in a spectacular piece and a just reward. We will all be watching to see if Susan will surpass her work again in this years competition.

The art department is looking forward to another great year! Our interactive art exhibition is slated to be held again in the art rooms this year. Please be sure to come in to the studio art rooms and check out our Jr/Sr AP individual work spaces. We love to have visitors.
