A third District student is also featured in the exhibit. Fern Duffy, a 7th grader at Andrew Jackson School was the Middle School Division winner of the Flag Contest Winner. Although this was a separate contest judged back in December, the artwork is included in this current art exhibit.
The competition is annually held in March, which is Youth Art Month (YAM), a national annual observance that emphasizes the value of the visual arts and art education. YAM also encourages support for quality school art programs and provides opportunities for all children in the arts.
