Accomplishment: These 10 exceptional artists were inducted into the Pleasantville High School chapter of the National Art Honor Society.

Key to Awesomeness: In addition to becoming a part of the elite group of the district's artists, artwork created by the students was sold in a silent auction, with proceeds benefitting the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

Along with the district's Art Department and Friends of Visual (ARTS), the National Art Honor Society held its ninth annual induction ceremony on Thursday evening.

The silent auction raised $533 to donate to Doctors Without Borders, to help aid relief efforts in Japan.
