The picture was taken during one of Ms. Bastoni's Digital Photography classes which explored different lighting options. Bacon's national gold medal award means that a jury selected his picture as being in the top 1% of this year's submissions to Scholastic Arts. Only the top 2,000 works in the country earn National Medals and will be celebrated at a ceremony at Carnegie Hall. Each year, Scholastic Arts partners with more than 100 visual arts and literary arts organizations across the country to bring the Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 apply in 29 categories of art and writing. Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. This year, students submitted over 320,000 works of art and writing to the Awards. More than 68,000 were recognized at the regional level and celebrated in local exhibitions and ceremonies.

Marquiz Memorial Teacher of the Year Award. Social Studies chair Nancy Gagnon visited Bowman's classroom at the end of the school day on Friday to read the official declaration and to share some of the statements that had been made in support of Bowman's nomination. Bowman was recognized for his inspired teaching style, for his role as a mentor in the department, for his continued leadership of Student Council, for his successful coaching of students in co-curricular opportunities like History Bowl and Granite State Challenge, and for his untiring work in the community. Students spontaneously applauded when the announcement was made and congratulated him on the prestigious award. As one of the students had written in her support of Mr. Bowman's Teacher of the Year nomination: "Before I came to ConVal, I didn't appreciate the opportunities that I was given by my teachers at school. I didn't recognize how incredible learning is or how much I could truly love it. Mr. Bowman is one of the teachers that I have had that made me realize this." Congratulations, Mr. Bowman, on the award and thank you for all you do to inspire our students!
