Summary
Chair Michael Campbell and TES Principal Heather Lowe recognized Talula Heckendorf as the State of Oregon Congressional Art Competition winner; her piece 'Man Walking Through an Alaskan Town' will be displayed at the U.S. Capitol and another work will be shown in Representative Bentz's office.
Chair Michael Campbell and TES Principal Heather Lowe opened the meeting's recognition portion by honoring high school student Talula Heckendorf for winning the State of Oregon Congressional Art Competition. The board said Heckendorf's winning piece, titled "Man Walking Through an Alaskan Town," will be displayed at the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. A second work, "The Colorful Desert with Huge Cacti," will be exhibited at Representative Cliff Bentz's Ontario office in eastern Oregon.
Principals used the recognition to highlight the district's arts programming and upcoming events: TES described a Jog-a-Thon at 1:00 p.m. the next day to raise funds for an Artist in Residence and a Spring Showcase on May 29 from 5:30-7:00. TES Principal Heather Lowe credited teachers and PTA volunteers for supporting student opportunities and presented a PTA-dedicated plaque to be placed under a newly planted Ginkgo Biloba tree between TES and TMS.
This ceremonial recognition was informational and celebratory; no board action was required.
