A message from the Arts Festival Committee
The Arts Festival Committee would like to thank the Ventana Vista community for making the 2019 Arts Festival a tremendous success! With the help of Bobcat family and staff volunteers we raised over $7500! These dollars will go directly back into the school to support our teachers and students. We would like to thank our many local and regional businesses and families that helped make our 2019 event such a success.
It was a very tight race but our 2nd grade families purchased more of their art work by percentage than any other grade! We have a lot of talented artists in our midst and here is a list of this year’s “Best in Show” artists:
Kinder – Lyla, 1st – James, 2nd – Aiden, 3rd – Aislyn, 4th – Matilda & 5th Grade – Gillian …congratulations to all!
Have a wonderful Bobcat summer and we’ll see you in 2020!
