On April 1, 20 students from Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School traveled to Saratoga to compete in the Olympics of the Visual Arts, an event sponsored by the New York Art Teachers Association. This is the first time that SAS students attended the event with their peers from the C. J. Hooker Middle School and Goshen High School.

Five groups of second grade students competed with students from several other school districts in grades 2-6. Our students presented wonderfully creative art projects in five different categories: drawing, painting, sculpture, furniture design and illustration.

All of our students’ efforts were remarkable with two groups proudly earning third place awards in the painting and illustration categories.
