Sudbury Art Students Honored

was honored with nine awards at this year's Scholastic Art Awards. This is a new record for the school. One student also earned four awards, which is another ECMS record for individual recognition.

"We are very proud that our school tied for 10th (for number of awards) among all public and private middle schools in Massachusetts," said Scott Greenaway of the school's Art Department. "This is even more remarkable considering that the Scholastic Art middle school level is grades seven and eight, and our students do not have an option to take art in eighth grade."

The Scholastic Art Awards is the most prestigious student art competition in Massachusetts and garners thousands of entries from across the state in a variety of artistic categories.  

The following ECMS students were honored with awards:

• Anna Reck: Honorable Mention, drawing category
• Sam Shealy:  Gold Key, drawing category; Silver Key, drawing category; Silver Key, painting category; Honorable Mention, painting category
• Kathryn Gatke: Silver Key, sculpture category
• Makayla Ward: Gold Key, sculpture category
• Rachel Wiesler: Silver Key, mixed media category
• Anna Cass: Honorable Mention, mixed media category

All of the Massachusetts Silver and Gold Key winners (including Sam, Kathryn, Makayla, and Rachel) have their art on display in Boston (in the MA State Transportation Building, 10 Park Plaza Boston) from 2/13 - 4/20.
