We also have had many students win awards for the Wisconsin Junior Duck Stamp Competition, both middle school and high school. Maci Lindner, age 13, took second place and Jenna Haufe took an honorable mention in their division.

For high school, Kendra Seefeld and Madelyn Suda, both age 16, took second place awards for their designs, and Payten Wolf, Harlee Colby, Shaun Cambell, Rachael Matteson, and Mackenzie Hahn all took honorable mentions in their division. Congratulations on this achievement!

Currently the Loyal Art Department is getting ready to celebrate the Cloverbelt Art Show, which will be in Augusta at the high school this year. Twenty pieces of art will be selected from students’ work.

Community Night is on Tuesday, April 29, from 4:30-6 p.m. The student show will be Wednesday, April 30, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Stop out to see all of the wonderful works on display. Four middle school students currently have their work up at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum for the Student Art Show in Wausau. Congratulations to Vanessa Reis, Ben Kadolph, Ridge Duell, and Cheyenne Luchterhand for having their work selected to be on display for this prestigious show!
