At the 2018 Scholastic Art Awards Ceremony over 3,000 works of art were entered this year, from which were selected 800 pieces for the show. Of these, the vast majority are high school student works. The middle school students’ works make up only about 10% of the accepted works.
Our Discovery 8th grader, Taelyn Thompson, was the only middle school student from our whole district to be accepted for the Scholastic Arts Award Show this year, winning an Honorable Mention Award for her Ceramic sculpture, Njord, the Lord of the Fjord.
Please join me in congratulating her on her success!
