KUDOS to our Kids!
Paschal Art Department Wins Big at Region!! Art students took top awards at the Region Event held in Arlington recently. Students not only had to write about their work but they also had a one-on-one interview with a judge about their piece. Half of their score was the interview, the other half the artwork. We had 122 students that entered; 117 of them got perfect scores. 10% of the top scores are chosen for state. These nine students are advancing to state in April: Liliana Almanza, Anna Cook, Julianne Dewer and Gaby Rios (both for the second consecutive year), Noble Menchaca, Jennifer Tovar, Sixtine Rouyre, Victoria Bosaldu and Lily Yeargins.
In Theatre, Annabeth Barbre won the Shakespeare Competition at PHS last week. She will be representing Paschal at the upcoming regional competition. Congratulations and good luck!
