It is my sincere pleasure to announce the fifteen students chosen to have their work on display in the 12th annual Art in the Vally art show, which is being held this weekend at the F.W. Hartnett Middle School in Blackstone, MA. This is a large event showcasing hundreds of art works by K-8 art students across the Blackstone Valley and it is sponsored by the Blackstone Valley Educational Foundation.

This years artworks include works in many media and were chosen from several pieces each from my 500 or so students in grades five and six, or approximately 2000 artworks generated this school year. That is pretty special. Please join me in congratulating the following artists:

Top row: Lisa Wang, Molly Hardcastle, Allison Martin, Andrew Lindquist, Maria Ceruti

Middle row: Hannah Le, Hannah Laurence, Lucas Nguyen, Peyton Parrino, Amelia Rouleau

Bottom row: Kelsey Veloz, Tomas Medina, Ellery Reardon, Sadie Small, Leila Leyvas

Please congratulate these artists when you see them next!
