Art Reflections Update:
In December, Cabin John Middle School submitted seven entries to the MCCPTA level for the annual Arts Reflection National PTA competition. We are thrilled to announce that five Cabin John students have a piece of art that has been selected to move on to the next round, the Maryland State competition.
Congratulations to: Austin Vinner, Austin Chen, Sabrina Miller, Spencer Swetlow and Iris Yang for moving on to the State Level by earning an Award of Excellence for Outstanding Interpretation of the Theme in their respective categories!
Also, congratulations to Brielle Taubenblatt, whose work was noted for award of merit/honorable mention.
All entries that entered at the county level will be displayed at the MCCPTA Gallery and Award Ceremony on Saturday, March 18 at Clarksburg High School. We will share more details once they are available. Only Award of Excellence distinctions will move on to the State Round.
For more on the divisions in which our students placed, see below. For a full list of winners see attachment below.
