Deatley Competes in Congressional Art Competition
Rickey Deatley, a freshman at Manchester High School in Mrs. Roberts' Art I class, recently competed in the Second District's art competition (Home in Ohio) sponsored by the Congressional Institute. This competition allowed for the opportunity of the House of Representatives to recognize talented young artists. Rickey drew a Red Bird in which aligned with the directions stating that the artwork should reflect what it means to the artist to live here in Ohio. All participants artwork was displayed in a digital art competition on Facebook. Online voting coupled with scores assigned by a panel of judges determined the winning piece. Although Rickey did not win Congressman Wenstrup's Congressional Art Competition, he did have the most votes cast for his piece online and has been offered the option of displaying his art in Congressman Wenstrup's office or Washington D.C. office. Great Job Rickey Deatley!

Afterschool Art Show
On Monday, April 29th students with the Afterschool Program were able to display their artistic abilities as well as their "creative visions" as they presented an Art Show which consisted of the theme, "We Salute Our Troops and Veterans." Manchester Local Schools is "student- centered." This representation clearly defines the effort that is put into their artwork, flower-boxes, and various art projects. This would not be possible without the help of Ms. Caroline Grooms, Mrs. Nicole Pollitt (Site Directors of Basis), Mrs. Crystal Roberts (Art Teacher), Mr. Tony Sparks ( Agricultural Science Teacher), Lisa Morrison and Jenny Lockhart ( for preparing a spaghetti dinner), and Shannon Stewart for her devoted time to the Afterschool Program, plus all the Afterschool Staff and parents of the Manchester Community. The exhibit will be on display until Friday, May 10, 2013 in the Manchester Elementary Cafetorium.
