Congratulations County Fair Winners

It was exciting that so many of our Spectrum Art Students entered work in the Howard County Fair. I am proud of those students more than I can express.

Congratulations to those who won ribbons.

I know Ava and Becca both took third place in their respective age groups. At their early age this is a significant beginning to an art career.

Anna entered several pieces and was awarded ribbons.

I have not heard back on other students I am sure that others were recognized.

Keep up the good work.
