LISD artists recognized for poster contest
BY LISD Staff
The LISD staff recognized three outstanding student artists, an incredible art teacher, and a valued community partner, the Lockhart Evening Lions Club, for their support of student creativity and global citizenship.
Each year, Lions Clubs, around the world, sponsor the International Peace Poster Contest, encouraging students to express the theme of peace through art. This year’s theme was “Together As One.” There are more than 1.4 million Lion members in 48,000 clubs across 200 countries, all united in this project.
At Lockhart Junior High, Art teacher Rebecca Warren incorporates this contest as a class project.
From 176 student entries, Ms. Warren selected 10 finalists, and the Lockhart Evening Lions Club then chose the top three.
The first-place poster has been sent on to district competition, where it will compete with entries from 46 other clubs, with the potential to advance to state, national, and international levels.
Ms. Warren has served as our Peace Poster point person for the past three years and has truly gone above and beyond in living our district values of LockHeart for People, Locked on Excellence, and Unlocking Potential by creating these opportunities for her students.
Recently, in partnership with the Lockhart Evening Lions Club, LISD staff were honored to present certificates and cashier’s checks to our three Peace Poster finalists:
1st Place – Malanie Barton – $100
2nd Place – Kaylee Hernandez – $75
3rd Place – Kaelyn Patteson – $50
Students are accompanied by LJHS Art Teacher, Ms. Rebecca Warren, representatives from the Lockhart Evening Lions Club, and LJHS Principal, Mario Palacios.
