Paint the PlowPosted on: Friday, December 02, 2016The York County School Division knows just how much students look forward to a snow day (or two) each winter, and this year they may also be eager to see the crews working to get those roads clear again! That’s because if winter weather hits Hampton Roads this year, motorists will see some colorful snowplows on the roads thanks to students from around the York County School Division. The Virginia Department of Transportation provided the division with several plows in need of a "makeover." Art students from Bruton, Grafton, Tabb and York high schools have used their creativity to turn this non-traditional medium into masterpieces. |
