Three Gibraltar Students Win Conservation Poster Contest

“Black and White” by Elizabeth Bautista.

Three Gibraltar art students won the Soil and Water Conservation Poster Contest at the county level: Elayna Hatch for grades 2-3, Elizabeth Bautista for grades 7-9 and Bethanie Stackhouse for grades 10-12. Bautista’s poster, which placed first, will be entered in the state competition in March. See the winning posters at co.door.wi.gov/1167/Conservation-Awareness-Poster-Contest.

In addition, ninth-graders Bautista and Abby DeMeuse both earned honorable mentions in the Scholastic Art and Writing Contest.

Bautista’s work will also be displayed in the Miller Art Museum’s Salon School of Art later this spring, and DeMeuse’s work is currently hanging at The Ridges Sanctuary, where a new art show features work by Gibraltar middle and high school students. A prominent feature of the show is a 10-foot-tall mural completed by Mrs. Meikle’s Art 1 students.
