Art Show a Success

For the 1st time ever, the CHS Art Show expanded this year with the addition of an Alumni Art Show.  Both were a display of talent from current and former CHS art students.  Quite an impressive show!  Several students were honored with many different awards, including the Principal's Award winner, Sidney N. (pictured below with Mr. Luebke).  Her artwork will be displayed for the next year in the high school office.

This year's show was bittersweet as it was the last for retiring art teacher Kathy Place.  Kathy's 30 plus years of influence on the CHS art department has certainly impacted and shaped the lives of many young people.  Mrs. Place will certainly be missed!  Art teacher Amy Sutter gave a tearful farewell speech at the end of the awards ceremony, as she described how influential Mrs. Place has been in shaping the art department and the lives of our students.  Several alumni were on hand to judge the art show and display their work.

Thanks to those who participated!  Good luck to Mrs. Place!
