South Newton Middle School students recently participated in the 33rd Annual Regional School Art Show, wrapping up this year’s exhibitions in a big way! The middle school show, which opened on March 19, featured more than 130 works of art from 78 talented students representing Rensselaer Central, South Newton, and Kankakee Valley middle schools.
Several pieces were recognized for artistic excellence, including four Best Artwork awards and six Honorable Mentions.
A special shoutout to our SNMS artists:
🏆 Tzipporah Holloway – Best Artwork
🌟 Nana Diong – Two Honorable Mention Awards
Each student also received a participation ribbon in recognition of their creativity, effort, and selection for the show. We are so proud of all of our talented artists—congratulations! 👏🎉
