The News-Gazette hosts an annual competition with local schools to involve students in the design of an ad for a local business. Then, from all the ads specifically made for them, each business selects the ads that will run in a special section of the News-Gazette in March. Our high school art students participated in this competition as a way of trying out an authentic art career possibility in the field of design. We want to congratulate all the students for their hard work and creative designs. Five Blue Ridge students were printed in the paper on Friday: Cadin Dozier, AJ Johnson, Angel Melgosa, Karly Warner, and Jasmine Petmecky. Jasmine's ad won 1st place in the High School category. CONGRATS!
Tomorrow is the Community Easter Egg Hunt held at Trinity Church in Farmer City.
