Art students win awards
Quincy High School students won five top awards at a statewide art contest, put on by The Haas Foundation.
The contest required students to make a work of art revolving around the theme of ‘parity.’ The Haas Foundation donates funds to schools around the state with a goal to provide equity to needy students. “At QHS, we use these funds for everything from equipment and costs associated with sports to buying glasses for students who cannot afford to go to the optometrist,” said art teacher Matthew Kimmel. “I’m so proud of these students for their academic efforts.”
Oscar Romero was named the overall winner for his work called “Sprouting Opportunities.” Romero collected a $500 reward.
Cristal Cuevas won Division 1 (grades 6-9) for her work called “Show Your Colors.” Cuevas collected a $250 reward.
Isela Preciado won Division 2 (grades 9-12) for her work called “Reaching New Heights.” She collected a $250 award.
Alma Ramos won the Executive Director’s Award for her work called “Priceless.”
Esmeralda Beltran won the Art Contest Director’s Award for her work called “Step Down From Cloud Nine, and Step into My Shoes.”
Cesar Grenados, Gerardo Sanchez, Naomi Garcia and Ruben Reyes were runners-up in divisions 1 and 2.

Preschool through fourth-grade students of Quincy Valley School will present the mini-musical “Coyote Steals the Summer” at 10:30 a.m. today at the school.
