Young artists recognized for their talent
There were 75 entries in the Stephen Talley Art Enrichment Program competition for students who attend schools within the San Jacinto Unified School District. Eight judges reviewed artwork that was divided into four different grade levels and made their top 15 picks. The categories were preschool through first grade, 2-5 grade, 6-8 grade and 9-12 grade.Each winner was given a $25 gift card to purchase art supplies and will have the honor of having their work displayed in the district office’s board room for one year. Teachers of the winning students are also given a $100 gift card to purchase art supplies for their classrooms.The San Jacinto Education Foundation first began the student artist recognition program in December 2008, with the help of longtime San Jacinto High School
