Two Sixth Graders Earn Outstanding Arts Awards

By Martha Hogan

Two Simsbury sixth grade students from Squadron Line Elementary School, William Shaw and Candace Tang, were recognized at the Connecticut Association of Schools 12th Annual Elementary Celebration of the Arts at the Aqua Turf in Southington on February 8. 

The students were selected by their music and visual arts teachers for their excellence in the performing or visual arts and for their high level of citizenship and cooperation skills. The event, sponsored by Liberty Mutual, honored two outstanding students in the highest grade level of elementary schools from across the state and included dinner and arts-centered activities as well as entertainment by a nationally recognized hip-hop dance group.

The students were joined at the celebration by their families and Squadron Line art teachers, Sally Fennelly and Sue Kelleher.
