Eight students, now in the 9th grade, were part of the accelerated, high school-accredited 8th-grade Studio Art course taught by Ms. Barbara Ginexi. Their hard work and creativity were showcased at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County’s Art competition.
This juried competition, evaluated by professional artists on criteria including craftsmanship, design, and imagination, saw a remarkably strong showing from our students, resulting in one Gold Winner, two Silver Winners, and five Bronze Winners. This collective success means that the work of all eight students is featured in the prestigious 2025-26 Cornell University Gardening Calendar and Guide, with the Gold-winning piece prominently featured for the month of September.
This recognition not only highlights the students' exceptional talent but also the dedication of our art educators and the rigor of the district's program. Please join us in congratulating these exemplary artists!
