Congratulations to Clara Griffey, 5th grade, for having her Onomatopoeia marker drawing selected to be a part of the SuperArt! program this school year.
SuperArt! is an annual program to celebrate the artistic endeavors of students throughout the district.
One student’s artwork from each K-12 school is displayed throughout PSD’s administrative offices at 2407 LaPorte Avenue for staff and community to enjoy during the year.
SuperArt! is a rich tradition that recognizes excellence in the visual arts. Clara and 45 other student artists in the district will be honored in February at a reception with Dr. Smyser
