The smART Gallery
(Student Masterpiece ART Gallery)
Thanks to the over 1,100 contestants in NEA’s National Kids’ Art Contest for reminding us that what’s cool about school is you! And congratulations to the winners whose vivid images of their favorite teachers and vision for the school of the future blew us away. Something to smile about: My Favorite Teacher was a favorite theme not just with the little kids, but with high schoolers, too.
