BUCYRUS — Artwork prepared by students from the Bucyrus Secondary School and Bucyrus Elementary School were selected as the overall winner in each building’s respective category during the annual Artapalooza art show at Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center (MOESC) April 10-13.
The schools were selected from a field of sixteen other schools as the Best of Show by a panel of judges who critiqued the high schools, middle schools and elementary schools separately. The judge’s focus for this award was to select the best schools that demonstrated the best work as a collective.
“This is an incredible testament to our teachers who are helping our students relentlessly pursue success both in and out of the classroom,” said Bucyrus Superintendent Kevin Kimmel. “The artistic talents of our students, coupled with the caring and compassionate learning environments our staff creates, made both of these awards possible.”
Several Secondary School students received individual honors for their artwork. Shaina Oreweiler (senior), Daniell Predieri (senior), and Alexis Adams (sophomore) all earned medals.
