Wyoming students recognized for artwork by Governor Gordon

Twelve Wyoming students from across the state were recognized for their artwork in Cheyenne on June 11 by Governor Gordon. The celebration acknowledged their achievement in art and excellence in interpreting agriculture and natural resource concepts.

Each year Wyoming Agriculture in the Classroom (WAIC) encourages 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to submit a hand drawn bookmark for the program. This year WAIC received over 1600 entries from students across Wyoming.

Among the student artists recognized was a student from Moorcroft: Wyatt Williamson, a 4th grade student in Mandy Connally’s class at Moorcroft K-8. Williamson’s bookmark was sponsored by First Northern Bank of Wyoming.

The students’ artwork is published and distributed around the state. If you would like copies of the bookmarks or information about the program, please contact WAIC at www.wyaitc.org or at 307-369-1749.
