West Cypress Artists Receive Exemplary & Top of TEAM Medals!!!!
Art Teacher, Lindsie Davis announced that West Cypress Hills did an AMAZING job at the Texas Elementary Art Meet (TEAM) this year!! Student artwork was judged on a 1-3 scale (1-Growing, 2-Good and 3-Exemplary). In addition, there was also one “Top of TEAM” chosen for all students in each grade levels K-3, and two “Top of TEAM” for each grade levels 4-5; these works are considered the “Best in Show” and the top 10% of the state for each level.
This year all West Cypress Hill’s artists received EXEMPLARY ratings (3) and earned medals! All eight artists earned 12 out of 12 points, earning West Cypress an amazing zero- deduction sweep! And if that wasn’t fantastic enough, we also had TWO artists awarded with Top of TEAM!!
