The 2018 Kansas City Metro Area and Greater Missouri Art Region Scholastic awards were released 1/30/18 and LNHS students fared very well. Scholastic received nearly 1800 entries from the KC metro area. Of those selected 90 Gold Keys, 105 Silver Keys, and 196 Honorable Mentions were awarded. These totals represent only 22% of all submissions.

Work receiving a Gold Key proceeds to the National Scholastic office to be judged with all of the other Gold Key work from all of the other regions of the country.

Additionally, Gold Key artwork will be part of a regional exhibition and their creators will be invited to a ceremony at the KCAI Crossroads Gallery: Center for Contemporary Practice on Saturday, March 24,2018.

Receiving any award from this organization among all of the work submitted is a considerable achievement.
