Ralston Valley, as per usual, joined in the Scholastics Statewide Art Competition and, also as per usual, we did pretty well.

The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards is coordinated by The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, a not-for-profit organization.

Since 1923, program has fostered the creative development of teenagers across the country. This is done by identifying emerging artists for college scholarship consideration and by showing their work to a national audience.  So the kids named here are eligible for scholarships, I suppose.

Honorable mention goes to Brooke Lee with a drawing and Shannon Baker with a photo.

The Silver Key was won by Alyssa Schwartz and Allison Leitz for jewelry pieces, and Kelly Euser won two for a drawing and a painting respectively.

Sam Rucker and Chelsea Triolo both had outstanding drawings that won Gold Keys and will go on to participate in the National Championship in New York.  Good luck you two, and nice work!
