What's Happening at DATA
Hello DATA Families,
The Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE) is an event that recognizes exemplary student achievement in the Visual Arts by providing high school students and programs a standard of excellence in which to achieve. DATA students, under the guidance of Mrs. Mendoza and Mrs. Gentry, entered 25 pieces of art into this year's competition. Of those 25 entries, DATA had 21 medal, which means they scored a 4, which is the highest score possible! In addition to the countless hours they spent on creating their works, they spent time on a Saturday at Stevens High School showing their work and speaking about their work as they interviewed with a judge to discuss their entry. We are so proud of all of their hard work and I would like to thank Mrs. Mendoza and Mrs. Gentry for providing theses amazing students the guidance and means to let these students shine.
Another shout out goes to the Roosevelt Librarian, Ms. Perez for taking a group of students to LibraryPalooza this past Saturday at Brandeis High School. All of the students had a great time meeting and hearing from published authors and even coming away with FREE BOOKS!
Don't forget, tomorrow is an early release day!
We can't wait to share with you our 2024 Fiesta Medal designed by one of our very own DATA students. Details coming soon.
For our Senior Class - let's get those service hours completed and submitted so you can be recognized as a DATA graduate. Due date for senior service hours is April 19th. Make sure you have signed up for the Senior Google Classroom to be up-to-date with all things Class of 2024. Graduation will be here before you know it!
Until next time,
Mrs. Szabo
