Elena Janowiak, Katya Wunsch, Annie DeBroux and Sarah Lentz will each have their pieces displayed during the 91st State Education Convention at the Frontier Airlines Center. Their work was recognized by the Student Art Exhibit and Awards.

Interim superintendent Bruce Anderson said, "These awards are another example of the outstanding art program that we have in our schools, and of the high level of talent that our students possess."

In addition to having their works displayed at the convention, the students also received prizes of U.S. Savings Bonds. Janowiak placed second, Wunsch placed third, DeBroux placed sixth and Lentz placed seventh in the competition, which featured hundreds of students from across the state.

Anderson added that the pieces will be prominently displayed as educators from all over Wisconsin gather for the annual convention in Milwaukee saying, "This is a great point of pride for our schools, students, parents and teachers."
