Student Artwork Gains State Recognition

WISCONSIN SCHOLASTIC ART AWARDS PACHECO ’23 WINS WRITING AWARD

Eight Dominican students earned awards at the Wisconsin Scholastic Art Competition. Vincent Desing ’23 and Claire Hubbard ’23 won the Silver Key Award.

Elliott Bleything ’26, McKenzy Beamon ’25, Ara Gargiulo ’24, Mykiyah Harris ’23, Julia Harding ’23, and Sophia Bonifas ’23 were selected as honorable mentions.

Caleb Pacheco ’23 earned a Scholastic Silver Key Award in writing for his essay, “Like a Wildflower.”

“Exploring my ethnicity is really important to me. This piece represents the roots and history that my ancestors and I have,” Pacheco said. “To see my story win an award was really special and made all the hard work pay off.”

Musicians Shine at State
