Apple Fest art, library book fair tops in news

Lincolnview Art Students taught by art teacher Kay Wilusz participated in the Apple Festival on October 21 and 22 at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. The students were asked to display their talents in drawing, painting and other areas in a celebration of the bounties of nature. The Fruit Growers set aside $425 for the student awards.

Dalton West placed second in the 3-D high school division with a clay sculpture of an alien.  Britney Kline received an honorable mention with a computer drawn picture of shoes and other cropped images in a Mandela. Yuliya Kratko also garnered an honorable mention in the high school division with a still life drawing of a paper bag and apple executed in ebony pencil. Travis Lippi also managed the same honor with a four color reduction linoleum print.  Ryanne Ducheney placed first in the junior high three dimensional division with a ceramic sculpture of a black cat and Brooke Thatcher received a second place for her clay monkey. Christian Lintermoot’s ceramic wolf container picked up the third place award. In the two dimensional junior high division Mikenna Klinger gathered a second place ribbon for her purple monochromatic painting of a dog.

Lincolnview thanks the Van Wert Fruit Growers association for sponsoring to the apple festival and providing the monetary prizes. Also we want to thank Ms. Marbaugh for organizing and awarding the ribbons.  The students really appreciated the recognition for their effort.

The Lincolnview Elementary Library will be holding the annual book fair starting November 21^st.  This year’s fair is entitled “Reading is Out of

this World.”  The hours of the book fair will be November 21 from 4:30-8:30 p.m. and November 22 from 1-8 p.m.  A special “Grand Event” will be held for GRANDparents on December 1 from 1:30-3:15 p.m.  Each class will be able to browse/purchase items the week of November 28 during their scheduled class period.

Everyone is encouraged to stop by and see what new and exciting books are available. For every dollar spent, the school library will receive half towards the purchase of new books and equipment to benefit students.

There is also a coloring contest in each classroom.  The winner from each classroom will receive the book of their choice from the book fair.  There will also  be a “galactic guessing game” in the library.  The person who guesses the closest will be awarded a $50 shopping spree at the book fair.

Lancer high school yearbooks are on sale now through November 22. Orders may be placed at school with cash or checks made payable to Lincolnview Schools. The price is $45.
