Second Grader Uses Artwork to Elevate Others

Primary School student Sachin Malhotra ’29 has been shining as both an aspiring young artist and entrepreneur in the area.

Over the summer, Sachin, who is the son of OTS alumnae Neema Patel ’99 and sibling to Sapna ’32 and Simren ’34, applied to be an exhibitor at Kids Maker Fest at the Akron Art Museum under his newly formed company, “Drawings by Sachin.” Upon his acceptance, the second grader joined 40 other local youth artists at the event in the fall where he sold more than 20 of his original drawings—each priced at $10. Of his proceeds, Sachin decided to use half to purchase art supplies requested by children on the Patient Wish List at Akron Children’s Hospital.

Sachin is eager to learn more about how he can grow his business, share his love of art with others, and give back to the community. We applaud him for using his gifts to inspire and lift up others and are excited to follow along closely as he continues to develop his skills and expand his business.

We were honored to host Rep. Bill Roemer of the 38th district of Ohio for a special visit on December 2, 2022. After a tour of campus, Rep. Roemer presented Old Trail with an official state resolution to recognize the school’s 100-year milestone as an educational leader in the region.
