This year Jillian
Katona, Meadowbrook’s art teacher, found a wonderful opportunity for her
students to participate in an online art contest through
Celebratingart.com.
The website
states that it is “devoted to promotion of the arts, art appreciation and
teaching.” We have such an outstanding art curriculum and so many talented
students, that Mrs. Katona thought, “Why not enter?” One morning she entered 18
works of art from 18 students in 1
st through 6th grade.
Two weeks later it was confirmed that 11 of them were selected to be published
in a book. The following week, the Meadowbrook Art Department was notified that
one of those students was a Top Ten Finalist, winning a copy of the art book
and a savings bond. We have so many talented artists at the Meadowbrook School
that next year she wants to enter one art work for every student. Move over
Picasso!
