We are proud to announce that East Middle School 8th grader Violet Jager has earned statewide recognition after her artwork was selected by MO State Senator Rick Brattin to represent Senate District 31 at the Missouri State Capitol.

Her artwork will be displayed through next April, showcasing her talent to visitors from across the state. The recognition is part of an annual exhibition and competition hosted by the Missouri Alliance for Arts Education, which invites art teachers from each Senate District to submit up to 20 student pieces.

๏ปฟCongratulations to Violet on this outstanding achievement!
