The Board of Education recognized over two dozen of the district’s brightest young art students at its public meeting on Nov. 27 at Wheeler Avenue Elementary School.
While a handful of the students were honored for having their artwork featured in the 2012-13 district calendar, several others were commended for having their artwork displayed at the New York State School Boards Association conference held in Rochester, N.Y. Each student was congratulated by the school board and presented with a certificate of recognition from his or her respective principal.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Adrienne Robb-Fund applauded the students for their efforts and thanked parents for their support. “This is a great honor because very few pieces of art selected to be on display at the NYSSBA conference came from the elementary level,” Robb-Fund said to the crowd on hand. “I was so proud to walk around the art gallery and see our students’ work on display for people from other school disticts throughout the state to see.”
