Honorable Mention awards were given to Chesney Boal, Meghan Hale, Denise Stephens, Brianna Casher, Jessica McDaniel, Amanda Williams and Kirstin Norman.
SRAC is especially thankful to art teachers Rose Nowak and Leann Adams for their encouragement of the students to enter this show and for their help in preparing the artwork for hanging and transporting to the library.
