Students shine in Art Showcase

Overall age group winners present for the Tuesday awards ceremony -- Mira Martin, Sawyer Hall, and Thomas Bowman -- with teachers Brittani Fuller (GRC) and Molly Sell (Baker).

Outstanding talent was on full display as CCPS honored student artists whose work was featured in this year’s District-Wide Visual Art Showcase.

Hosted at the Clark County Public Library for several weeks, the exhibit showcased artwork from students in kindergarten through 12th grade, highlighting the wide range of creativity and expression found throughout the district.

A special recognition event Tuesday at GRC celebrated the achievements of our visual art students.

These students have not only exhibited their impressive abilities to be Reflective Innovators, but also Resilient Learners and Committed Collaborators in the artroom,” said Baker art teacher Molly Sell.

Judges includes Board of Education members, district leadership, and community members. Thank you, Clark County Public Library, for hosting the showcase for the second year in a row.

Once again, the Showcase demonstrated that creativity is thriving across our schools.

Shoutout to our Art teachers across the district. Those present Tuesday were Caleb Burchett, Shearer; John Joseph, Conkwright; Makayla Singleton, Strode; Brittani Fuller, GRC; Kristin Gray, Justice; Zachary Pace, RDC; and Molly Sell, Baker.
