Westlake Has 5 Winners In Art Program

From Westlake Schools: Westlake High School junior Fiona Bihn, an International Baccalaureate Diploma student, earned a Red Ribbon in the Cleveland Clinic eXpressions Language Program this year for her poem, “No One Noticed Me.”

WHS junior Lexie Floyd and senior Lili Busic earned Blue Ribbons, sophomore Macy Sinreich earned a Red Ribbon, and senior Henyah Dardir earned a White Ribbon in the Cleveland Clinic Art eXpressions Program.

The eXpressions program is an interdisciplinary program that engages high school students in the world of scientific research. Through project-based, peer-to-peer learning, students produce creative interpretations of research conducted by Cleveland Clinic science interns.

Westlake students competed against about 1,400 art, language and math projects from 53 schools. Blue Ribbon winners receive a $100 gift card, Red Ribbon winners receive $75 and White Ribbon winners receive $50.

Award-winning projects will be featured in an eXpressions catalogue and on the Cleveland Clinic eXpressions website, and will be displayed in the 2019 eXpressions Art, Language and Math eXhibition at the Great Lakes Science Center.

No One Noticed Me (read up to down) by Fiona Bihn

I hate this boy in the mirror

So you’ll never hear me say

I am good enough for those around me

I know in my heart

I am meant to not be happy

I refuse to believe that

School is a place of love

Hate fills the world around me but

This is the way it is

There is hope

That some people deserve to die

And I refuse to believe

Life will get better

Life is an endless hole of misery

I refuse to believe

Anything good can happen

I walk into the cafeteria surrounded by my peers

Ring Ring

School has begun and a smile comes across my face

The fun is about to begin

Someone Noticed Me (read form bottom, up)
