We are so thrilled to let you know that our 5th grade Baker Bear, Ryder Argo, has been selected as a grand prize winner in the annual WATA Bus art contest.
This year’s contest theme is “Spirit of 1776” to honor this nation’s upcoming 250th birthday. There were three categories to enter: aspiring, amateur, and professional artist. One winner was selected from each of these categories, and the prize package included having the winning artwork displayed on a full-sized WATA bus and a $5,000 check. Many art students around the district and from York County entered their original works of art centered around this theme.
Ryder was selected as the winner of the “aspiring artist” category!
This picture shows his original artwork, a picture of the bus that now displays his work, and a description Ryder submitted to describe his art.
Thank you to Mrs. Chrismon for teaching and inspiring all of our young artists! You are simply AMAZING!
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Ryder’s Bus!
