District showcases student art recognized at Scholastic Art Awards; annual exhibit to open
Summary
K‑12 fine‑arts director Shannon Gagne presented student artwork honored at the Scholastic Art Awards and invited the board and public to view the district exhibition and award ceremony.
Shannon Gagne, the district’s K‑12 director of fine arts, presented examples of student work that received recognition at this year’s Scholastic Art Awards and invited the board and public to the district art exhibition.
Gagne highlighted an eighth‑grade drawing that “did win a national award,” saying the piece received a Gold Key and noting a range of media in the program, including printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, glass, photography and jewelry. She pointed to several seniors who will continue art in college and noted that portfolios will be on display at the art show. The director also described a student‑led “commitment ceremony” modeled after athletic signing traditions to honor students who plan to pursue art after graduation.
Board members thanked Gagne and praised the department’s faculty for maintaining active artistic practices and public exhibits. The transcript records the invitation to the exhibition and an award ceremony scheduled during the art show.
