Five students from Jacksonville’s historic neighborhoods were among 36 student artists from St. Johns Country Day School, to be recognized in the 2020 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Collectively, the St. John’s students took home 89 awards. Haley Juskowski of Ortega Farms took home a Gold Key and an Honorable Mention. Abbey Lantinberg of San Jose was recognized with a Silver Key and an Honorable Mention, while Lulu Nowicki of Avondale earned a Silver Key, and Zoë Roberts of Murray Hill won a Gold Key. Sims Wulbern of Ortega Forest took home with three awards – two Honorable Mentions and a Silver Key. "It's a significant achievement to earn any of these awards," said Visual Arts Department Chair Anna Reynolds-Patterson. "Each
award represents our students' dedication to creative and technical artistic skill. We are proud of these artists for excelling at this level, especially considering many of the awards were received by students still in Middle School." Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of youth throughout the United States and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. The Awards are presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to identify students with exceptional artistic and literary talent and present their remarkable work to the world through the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The Awards give
students opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. Students across America submitted nearly 320,000 original works this year in 29 different categories of art and writing. Also winning awards for St. Johns were: Yashas Aprameya, Olivia Belland, Landon Brafford, Kassie Burton, Addison Ellis, Brooke Ferris, Kelsey Gregson, Kinley Hall, Kyla Hartwell, Lea Hartwell, Natalie Higingbotham, Desiree Holmberg, Anna Kemp, Mary Kate Kent, Khloe Lloyd, Michael Maytin , Tyce Moore, Ava Morin, Mia Morin, Riley Myers, Delaney Payton, Kylie Rodriguez, Kendall Sage, Noelle Sanford, Emma Schultz, Claire Trammell, Laney Valdivia, Reagan Wagstaff, Laura Walden, Ruihong Wang, and Sophia Woolard.

St. Marks students show love with art supplies
As part of their service learning project, St. Mark’s second grade students partnered with Art with a Heart in Healthcare to collect art supplies for young patients staying at Wolfson Children's Hospital. The supplies were placed in “Art-to-Go” bags and blessed in chapel on Feb. 12. In addition, students created keepsake pictures in art class that were given to patients along with the bags on Valentine's Day to brighten their day. “We loved watching the joy and excitement our students had while working on this special project,” said Dina Middlekauff and Sue Fligor, second grade teachers at St. Mark’s.
