And the “Art Stars” of the Year are... After reviewing all the projects created by the monthly “Art Stars” and reflecting on

their creativity, artistic growth and independence over the past year (June 2009-May

2010), I chose two of these students to be the “Art Stars of the Year.”

I am proud to announce that the “2010 Art Stars of the Year” are:

North Wing - Jessica C. (Rm. 119)

South Wing – Christopher T. (Rm. 312)

Certificates were given to the winners during last month’s award ceremony (June 17-

18) held in the auditorium. Congratulations!!!

“Spirit Day” Art Show

Once again students in the Anderson Center

Art Program had their artwork on display during

the Staatsburg Spirit Day Art Show (June

12th) and from all reports their artwork looked

great. This year each of the students participating

received “Certificates of Apprecia-

tion” (example to right) from the event’s organ-

izer, Linda Clarke. Great Job!!

Those students chosen for inclusion in this year’s

art show were:
