Thank you to all 128 students who participated.  It was a joy to see how creative our young people can be!  Out of the 128 entries, 24 of them are moving on to the District level and then hopefully State level!

Come view the winners' work!

The program honoring the entries that are judged to move onto the state level will be held from 7 pm - 8:30 pm, Friday, January 9th.  Refreshments will be provided. The Reflections Committee will have results from the District by January 6 or 7th and will send an email to any entries from our school that are continuing to move on.
