I got one of those awards in high school! Wowweee!
do you still have the art? put it on your web site for all to see!
It’s hanging in my parents house and I do not like it. I’ll show you some better art… someday.
My son has a piece of his work displayed in this show. Looking forward to this evening. No disrespect intended to any other high school’s art staff, but we have the most wonderful, talented, and dedicated art teachers at BHS. They are a silver lining on what is often a dark cloud!
