Congrats to two amazing artists!

It's the end of fabulous art year.

 

To top it off, we got the official results from the Congressional Art Contest today.

 

We compete in District 11, Congressman Mike Conaway's district which includes schools from both small rural areas and large school districts.

 

The way it works is that every high school from each congressional district is invited to submit 3 pieces to their congressman to be judged. The winning piece is placed in the US Capitol for a year.

 

This year, 2 of our 3 student's placed.

 

Shelby received one of only 5 Honorable Mention's awarded.
