CENTENNIAL ARTISTS RECOGNIZED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION

Under the guidance of art educator April Vickey, a host of Centennial artists saw their work honored through the 2023 Colorado Kids Create Contest sponsored by Colorado Kids Create, Inc.

 

Each year, the organization publishes children’s books about Colorado and The West illustrated by Colorado students, which proceeds used to purchase art supplies for teachers.

 

This year, 13 District 60 students were chosen as contest winners and are now published artists.

 

“The students are under the instruction of Mrs. April Vickey, who continues to promote and encourage these students to extend their thinking and take risks by putting their art out there in a public way,” said District 60 Fine Arts Specialist Cindy Smith.
