Good Afternoon,

First of all, I would like to thank you and your colleagues for a fantastic set up day!  Thanks to your hard work and preparations, everything went up efficiently and smoothly.  Second, I would like to recognize the amazing talents of all of our students!  There were innumerable positive comments from community members in regards to the quality of the work done by our high school students.

As many of you know, judging took place yesterday immediately after set up and our three judges: Amber Larsen (2D), Ed Severini (Digital) and Tim Pfiffner (3D) couldn’t say enough great things about the student work (and how difficult the decisions were!)  Photos have been taken and we will be assembling the awards presentation and reception program this week.  I hope to have images and a draft of the program shared with you all by Friday.

PROGRAM INFORMATION:
In order to accurately honor all of your students, please be sure to share your list of selections with me via this google spreadsheet.  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PY2qV7C79zcmtvpxSsvA5HX4evcyNMAyaQav8XzJI0E/edit?usp=sharing   Once you have opened the spreadsheet, you simply need to create a copy of the sheet and share it back to me with your information.  Additionally, note the NFS/$ column, as Sandra would like to have this information available.  If you have not done so, please include (or share separately) the information for the ARTSPACE 144 pieces as well as their Artist’s Statements.  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZSn4jIkUKaC0nHrqjvuxnLUBif-F7dKX1EZUQggFljE  (copy, complete and re-share) PLEASE NOTE THE TABLE BELOW INDICATING WHICH SCHOOLS HAVE SUBMITTED THEIR INFORMATION.  In order to edit and print programs in a timely fashion, we need this information ASAP!   Please let me know if you have any questions!


RECEPTION: April 15th, 6-8 pm, Awards Presentation 7 pm
Please be sure to distribute the attached parent/student letter inviting those with work in the show.  I have also attached a copy of the FVC Participation Certificate to honor general participants.  Honorable Mention and Best of Show Ribbons have been hung next to the awarded pieces and at the 7:00 awards presentation on April 15th, we will hand out Honorable Mention and Best of Show certificates to those students who have received these specific recognitions.
