This school year has again been an extraordinary one for all of us due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This has been such a shared, positive experience for many of us. We are so proud of our students who stuck it out right up to the end to show us true grit through their perseverance. These kids realized that creating an outstanding work of art involved more than merely moving through the steps of an assignment and many of them devoted hours well beyond what was required. While face-to-face feedback couldn't happen as we would have liked, our students kept communication and their commitment going strong. Their response has been so uplifting and we applaud their dedication to excellence.
