This year I gave awards and graduation cords to the seniors who consistently and successfully participated in art exhibitions and competitions throughout their high school careers. Most of these students are pursuing something art-related after High School and I could not be more proud! One of them is off to my alma mater, the University of Toledo next year! Look out for her!
