Congratulations to the Paola High School Art Department. They’ve been selected as the outstanding Public School Art Department and been presented the Mary Ann Grimes Next Generation Traveling Trophy. Fifty three students submitted pieces of artwork to the “Explorations” Art Show featured at the Reflections Art Gallery, located at the Miami County Medical Center.
Mary Ann Grimes is one of the founders of the Miami County Art Coalition. She is the original exhibit manager of “Explorations” and continues to inspire participation in the coalition’s Next Generation Student Art Exhibition. As a former public school educator, Grimes reminds every one of the importance of public school art programs.
Paola Art Instructor, Deanna Morgan and the Paola Art Department were presented with the trophy and a check for $500.
