Fine Arts Students Celebrated & Honored
The PCS Fine Arts Department recognizes exemplary students this school year during the awards ceremony.
When it was time for the annual Art Show, high school and Jr High Advanced Art students proudly displayed the art pieces they had created this school year under the watchful eye of art teacher, Mrs. Evy McLean. It was a wonderful time on May 22, 2024, when family and friends came to admire the creative efforts, purchase cookies and art cards in support of the PCS Fine Arts Department.
After the art show, Mrs. Kristen Caldwell, department head led the fine arts department teachers in celebrating their exemplary arts students. But before the awards were handed out, several Fine Arts Committee (FAC) volunteer members – Sandy Virnig, Angie Holmstedt and Doug Virnig – received special recognition for all their years of helping and supporting the students!
