Two Roanoke Co. students place first in VSBA Regional Art Show
Sam Vermeulen (Burlington Elem.) and Valerie Ray (WBMS) have placed first in the Blue Ridge Region in the Virginia School Board Association's (VSBA) annual Regional Art Contest.
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 school board members.
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 office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
