On Friday, April 1, the Visual Arts department hosted its annual Aldine Photography Festival at the M.O. Campbell Educational Center, to celebrate the art of photography. Over 500 staff and students entered the festival, and while this is the third year the event was held, this was the first year it was done in person. “It was a great event to celebrate the power of photography and our Aldine photographers,” said Visual Arts Director, Kaileigh Newman. “You can see how the lessons the art teachers presented in the classrooms extended far beyond that daily lesson but impacted the lives of our students.” Open to grades Pre-K to 12, the event allowed for students and staff to submit their art into three submission categories: my community, alterations and people.

The top student winners for each category were as follows:

My Community: Edward Cervantes Jr., Carroll Elementary (3), Sebastian Cerda, Grantham Academy (7), Erin Graves, Carver High School (12) Alterations: Dellivon Frazier, Carter Academy (4), Adam Garza, Mead Middle School (6), Caleb Lacey, Carver High School (12) People: Zyain Alexander, Carter Academy (1), A’niyah Bryant, Jones Middle School (8), Nyambrea Corbin, Carver High School (12)
