Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

ScholasticEntryThis year, 11 Starting Artists students entered the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards!  After a special Starting Artists week from January 4-8 where students and staff prepared their artworks, our students entered nearly 70 polished pieces into the competition, including digital photos, digital art, films, animations, and interior design. 

SA students also created a stop-motion animation entry for the Human Rights Watch Film Festival student competition.  You can view their work on our Student Gallery page.  Fingers crossed for everyone!
