| EXEMPLARY
ART CONTEST
The annual Exemplary
Art Contest for student artists in the state of Washington
has been discontinued because of Migrant Education
Program changes.
The Migrant
Education Regional Office at ESD 105 invited high school students
in Washington State to participate in an art contest to design the
cover of the 2006 Exemplary Migrant Student Yearbook. The
purpose of the contest was to increase awareness and interest in
the book, and to give migrant students a feeling of ownership for
a book designed to highlight their achievements.
After the artwork
was chosen for the cover, an entry from each MERO region was selected
for the respective section in the yearbook.
