Compass School senior Lola Saccardo received $500 for her creative submission to the annual Arts Awards competition held by Educate the Whole Child (ETWC), an initiative of the Myrin Foundation. Her work was chosen first in the competition’s high school category.
The announcement was made in January by Tom McGuire of the ETWC Leadership Team to Kendra Rickerby, Head of School of the Compass School in Westminster, VT.
Congratulations Lola!
Educate the Whole Child as an organization sees creativity and the arts as a truly important dimension for children to develop, yet in many schools, it is largely neglected. Especially when integrated into other parts of the curriculum, the arts can bring fire and enthusiasm to learning.
