The district is pleased to announce that the artwork of Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School sixth-grade students, Samantha Lima and Juliette Slack, received outstanding recognition in the Cradle of Aviation Museum’s Art and Poetry Exhibition.

Earlier this spring, the students created astronomy-inspired art pieces that they submitted to the museum’s showcase. For their artistic efforts, Slack received a first-place ribbon for her art piece titled “My Galaxy,” while Lima was awarded a second-place ribbon for her painting, “Outer Space.”

Congratulations to these fine students as well as their art teacher Christina Marcolla for mentoring them through their preparation for the exhibition.
