Thank you Mrs. Best for an exciting day!
Middle School Art - Congratulations to Jaden Best and another student for being selected, by a vote of staff, to represent RMAE in the Youth Art Month Exhibit in the rotunda of the state capitol building. The YAM Exhibit will be on display from February 21 - March 7, culminating in a reception on March 7 from 4:00 - 5:00 PM. Thank you to all the students who made art for the contest. The exhibit was limited to two artworks per school so it was a difficult decision for staff. All of the art submitted was worthy.
More Exciting News! Out of these two entries, Jaden Best's drawing was one of twelve selected to be displayed at the National Art Educator's Conference in Boston. There were a large number of of entries from schools across Colorado, so this is quite an honor.
