Upper Elementary Students Receive Pentel Awards
June 6, 2011

Last fall several of our Upper Elementary children created artwork to submit to Pentel’s 41st International Children’s Art Exhibition. More than 200,000 creations were sent to Japan from around the world. About 1,000 entries were received from the United States which won 122 awards. Recently, we were notified that two of our students’ entries have been selected from the U.S. Katie Bennett received a bronze award for her “Skiing on Snowy Hills” and Hailey Swisher’s “Morning in the Mountains” was honored with a Pentel award.

Please view copies of their certificates and artwork on the wall in the rotunda. Congratulations, Katie and Hailey!
