DRAGON
CREATES WINNING DESIGN
Jordan
Keller (’17, Richmond) created the winning design for the "VANS
Customs" design contest. She did this work as part of her National Art
Honor Society (NAHS) service requirement. The theme was “Technology in Design”;
her interpretation appears in the image
above.
Through June
1, you can purchase your own pair of VANS with this awesome design -

In

around” on shoes world-wide….VANS is sending MLWGS $5,000.00 to support its Art Department and
NAHS.

Showcasing
MLWGS Senior musical talent is an important tradition at Senior Recognition
Night and graduation. For example, vocalists are needed to sing The
Star Spangled Banner. Additional performers or performance groups (instrumental
or vocal) are sought for both events. Students should begin
preparing if they would like to audition. Any MLWGS senior or group
of seniors interested in auditioning must sign up for a time slot by May 17 on
the list outside the Forum (The sign-up sheet was posted the first week of
May). Final decisions will be made by a committee of faculty members and
the class officers.
