Announcing some big news...

01/20/2013

If I didn't have the best students, working in a an awesome school, within a district that values our art program, I wouldn't have this news to share...

I am receiving a regional National Art Education Award. The map to the left shows the western region in dark blue. There are winners in all divisions (Elementary, Middle, Secondary, etc) in each region. I won for Elementary Art within the Western Region.

Thank you Students, Dryden Staff, District 25, and my Personal Learning Network for giving me the tools, support, training, inspiration, motivation and freedom to make this an award-winning art program! ~Mrs. Fuglestad

You shine further than the Western Region of the USA - You shine across lands, across oceans, across skies, across cultures, across art educators minds. We see that bright illuminating light.
Enjoy.
