‘Sharing the Dream’ Winners
A few months ago, I told you about the “Sharing the Dream” essay and art contest to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Arlington area students submitted more than 400 pieces of artwork for the theme “Where do we go from here: Chaos or Community?”.
The competition recognizes the best in art and literature. All students attending school or residing within the city limits of Arlington were eligible to compete.
The judging took place on November 5. The first place design appeared on T-shirts and publicity materials for the 2008 MLK Celebration. In addition, first place winners received a $1,000 US Savings bond, with $750 and $500 bonds going to second and third places.
Art Contest Winners
First Place - Garrett Lawrence, Lamar High School, Junior
Second Place - Dallin Poole, Ferguson Junior High School, Seventh Grade
Third Place - Megan K. Miller, Barnett Junior High School, Eighth Grade
Essay Contest Winners
First Place - Tyler Marie Kiles, a senior at James W. Martin High School
Second Place - Priscilla Hor, a senior at James Bowie High School
Third Place - Nick Gallion, a senior at Arlington High School
Congratulations to all the winners! You can view the artwork and read the essays at the city’s MLK website.
