Nominations open for Brodniak Arts Award
Nominations are now being accepted for the Walter A. Brodniak Award for Cultural Education.
The Brodniak Award was created to foster growth of the cultural arts in the school district. Brodniak, Anacortes School District Superintendent from 1973 to 1977, was a staunch believer in the powerful contributions that arts make to our community. Each year, the award is given to a student, faculty member, administrator, school director, community member or organization that has made an outstanding contribution to the cultural arts in the Anacortes School District in the past year.
Nominations are due by 5 p.m. Friday, April 17, 2020. Please use the online form to submit your nomination. A selection committee will review the nominations and make a recommendation to the School Board. The recipient will be recognized at a special community reception in May.
If you have questions, please contact the Superintendent’s Office at (360) 503-1211 or tramsay@asd103.org.
Events may have changed or been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Please check with organizers before attending or registering.
