Talented artists in the Sun West School Division recently got some recognition. Seven students had their entries selected for the second-ever Sun West Student Art Contest, earning themselves a gift certificate courtesy of Sun West to celebrate with a pizza party in their class.
According to the Sun West release, following the December 2 deadline the art was put through an initial review, and the top entries were selected in each category. Students were asked to create art "that depicted life in Sun West School Division".
The final group of judges included Board members, Sun West staff, and even student leaders. They selected the following students:
Pre-K to Grade 3 Category
- First - Thea Sedgwick, Grade 3, Elrose Composite School
- Runner up - Alex Baier, Grade 3, Westberry Elementary School
Grades 4-6 Category
- First - Zackary Stahl, Grade 6, Springwater Colony School

“We want to thank all the students who entered!” Said Vicki Moore, Sun West Director of Education, “Everyone did such a wonderful job. We really enjoyed all the art we received and will proudly display the artwork of the first place and runner up students at the Division Office. Their talent and creativity is inspiring!” She added.
