Student Art Contest
September 5th, 2008 by Mike VasilindaBeginning Monday, Florida’s 9 through 12th graders are being asked to participate in a state wide arts contest called Arts Build Florida. The contest ends Nov 7th. Tom Prestopnik taught art in Martin county for more than 20 years. He says art was what kept many of his at risk students in school.
“It’s very important to keep them in the schools.”. Says Prestopnik. “In order for them to become productive members of our economic society. We don’t need them as a burden on society, we need them to be there producing.”
