Mariemont Student Artwork Selected for Statewide Exhibits

The Mariemont City School District is proud to announce that three students had artwork selected for Ohio’s Youth Art Month Exhibit and three students had artwork selected for Ohio’s Young People’s Art Exhibit.

Anna Breen, 2nd grade at Mariemont Elementary; Elise Gaskey, 4th grade at Terrace Park Elementary; and Stefan Nistor, 6th grade at Mariemont Elementary, each had artwork selected for this year’s Youth Art Month Exhibition in March.

Charlotte Soller, 1st grade at Mariemont Elementary; Melissa Muench, 2nd grade at Terrace Park Elementary; and Hailey Zobrist, 6th grade at Mariemont Elementary, each had artwork selected for the 35th annual OAEA Young People’s Art Exhibition.

“This would not have been possible without the inspiration, skills and knowledge that Stefan acquired in Mrs. Hobart’s art class,” said Lilit Nistor. “We are looking forward to traveling to Columbus to see the exhibit!”

OAEA works to promote art education and recognizes quality student art through various exhibits sponsored throughout the year at both the state and the national levels. An awards ceremony and reception for both exhibitions will be held on Saturday, March 14 in Columbus for the artists, their parents, teachers and guests. Both exhibitions, which are hosted at separate locations in Columbus, Ohio, will remain open to the public throughout the month of March. For more information, please visit the OAEA website.

“This is a wonderful honor for these students, and they should be proud to represent Mariemont City Schools,” said Shelley Komrska, art teacher. “Their artwork is outstanding and I am happy that these young artists are being recognized in this way.”

Thank you to Shelley Komrska, Melissa Rupe and Ann Hobart, who are the art teachers that submitted the artwork on behalf of these students.

Architects Help Mariemont Students Plan Community Designs

Mariemont Junior High School 7th grade Social Studies students collaborated with licensed architects on their planned community designs. Students learned what architects do and applied this knowledge to their community plans. We would like to thank Rick Koehler from ArchitectsPlus, Heather Curless owner of Greener Stock, and Bob Doran, who was most recently the university architect for the University of New Mexico.

This was a great hands-on learning opportunity, made possible by the generosity of our community members.
