For the thirteenth year, artwork from twenty-one schools will be displayed in this public meeting room for the coming year. The Board of Trustees honored the student artists and their guests at a reception prior to the unveiling ceremony. The artwork now becomes a part of the Board of Trustees’ permanent collection. 

The following students’ work are included in this year’s exhibit: Lubov Kibikina, Alston Middle; Jessica Vance, Ashley Ridge High; Katelyn Schmedeke, Beech Hill Elementary; Morgan Baker, DuBose Middle; Cecelia Knecht, Eagle Nest Elementary; Maria DeLong, Fort Dorchester Elementary; Monique Martinez, Fort Dorchester High; Sam Odenwook, Flowertown Elementary; Liliya Korchevskaya, Gregg

Summerville Elementary; Holly Shope, Summerville High; Aubrey Lewis, Spann Elementary; Irene Skow, William Reeves, Jr. Elementary; and lyanna Dean, Windsor Hill Arts Infused Elementary.

In May each school selects students’ artwork that best represents the course of study in fine arts for that year for the district exhibition. The chosen artwork becomes a part of the board room exhibit that is unveiled in the fall. After the yearlong exhibit in the board room, the artwork will be displayed in facilities
throughout the district.

Superintendent Joe Pye congratulated the students and their visual arts teachers commenting, “This is a wonderful opportunity for our schools to share the great talents of our students with the community.”

For the past several years, Superintendent Joe Pye has selected one of the exhibition pieces to be used as the district holiday card. The 2012 card will display artwork entitled “The Giving Tree” created by Sam Odenwood, a third grade student at Flowertown Elementary.
