YCSD Students Win Regional Award in 2015 VSBA Art Contest

Local school board members were treated to an impressive display of creativity and faced some tough decisions in selecting the 2015 winners of the Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) York County Regional Art Contest on March 11. Student art from the elementary, middle and high school levels represented each school division in the competition, which was judged at the regional forum for area school board members.

Art created by Aariq Hug, Andrew Fiocca and Montaye Pool from Mt. Vernon Elementary School was the first place elementary winner. The VSBA Regional Art Contest was started in 1989 to promote the artistic talents of Virginia's public school students. For each of the nine VSBA regions, a winner is chosen for the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The winning art is framed and displayed in the offices of the VSBA in Charlottesville and the Richmond offices of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
