Region One ESC Child Find Art Winners Announced-Top Winner from Mission CISD

Each year, the Region One ESC Child Find Art Contest attracts the brightest and most talented artists that local school districts have to offer. And this year was no exception. The annual event, sponsored by the Region One ESC Child Find program, a component of the Region One Education Special Education Program, organizes the art contest and promotes the winning artwork on the official Child Find brochure, poster and other promotional items throughout the year. These items are distributed throughout the Region One area, in the schools and community.

This year, hundreds of entries were received in the Annual Region One ESC Child Find Art Contest making it extremely difficult for judges to make their final selections of a grand prize winner in the elementary, middle school and high school categories.

Juanita Lovejoy, Child Find Director explains that winners were chosen in each division: elementary, middle and high school. All winners received art supplies and their very own calendar depicting the division winners' artwork.

The top winners are: First Place High School: Roberto Torres, Mission High School, Mission CISD; First Place Middle School: Fanny Torres, Dr. Armando Cuellar Middle School, Weslaco ISD; and First Place Elementary: Jose Gregorio Puentes, J. Castaneda Elementary, Brownsville ISD. A complete listing of winners, including those in the Honorable Mention category, can be viewed at http://www.esc1.net/esc1/lib/esc1/Winners_Gallery.pdf.
