Limestone County Board recognizes scholars-bowl, band and art students and promotes county art exhibition
Summary
The Limestone County Board of Education recognized scholars-bowl winners, district honor- and All-State band members and two Congressional Art Competition honorees, and promoted a county visual art exhibition scheduled during a downtown Friday event.
The Limestone County Board of Education on an unspecified date recognized students who placed in this year’s scholars-bowl competitions, district honor band and All-State band designees, and honorees in a national high-school art competition.
Superintendent (name not specified) presented the scholars-bowl winners in elementary, middle and high school divisions, named advisors and singled out high-score competitors. Creekside Elementary, East Limestone (middle division) and Ardmore High School (high division) were called out as first-place teams; the superintendent also named individual students and coaches for each division.
The board also recognized Braxton Moore, an eighth grader at West Limestone, for Alabama district honor band selection and named three students chosen for the Alabama All-State Band: Blake Talbert (Ardmore High School), Sam Coggan (Clements High School) and Jay Lamore (Tanner High School). District 2 board member Miss Greta Kilgore joined in congratulating Sam Coggan when his director was unable to attend.
Two East Limestone High School students received honors in a nationwide high-school art competition and will be displayed in the Fifth District congressional office. The superintendent and staff announced a Limestone County Schools visual art exhibition at the Launchbox the following Friday during a downtown “Friday at 5” event; the exhibition will feature artwork from all county high schools, live student work-in-progress, makerspace activities and judged submissions. Admission was announced as free with donations accepted.
The recognitions were ceremonial; no formal votes were required. The board’s presentations emphasized the district’s expansion of visual-arts programming to every high school and encouraged public attendance at the exhibition.
