District Students Earn Recognition for Art

Forty-seven district students from one high school and six elementary schools won awards of merit in the Oklahoma Student Art Exhibition at the State Fair.

Two of the exhibition’s five special awards went to district students. Vivian Diep of Putnam City High won a Judge’s Choice Award and Blair Hall of Ralph Downs Elementary won a Superintendent’s Choice award.

Because their schools had 10 or more award winners, teachers at Arbor Grove Elementary and Overholser Elementary each received $100 gift certificates with which to purchase art supplies.
