FoGR sponsors awards for “It’s Elementary” art show

Horicon Elementary School wins FoGR sponsored art award (March 2006)
As part of Friends of the Gualala River’s continuing community outreach efforts, several awards are given each year for student art projects.

The most recent award was presented to Horicon School (Annapolis), for their stunning mural entitled “Fish and Their Habitat.” Especially impressive is the fact that the work was done by first and second grade students who studied the life cycle of salmon and steelhead, and then used their new-found understanding of our natural environment to create the prize-winning art.

FoGR Steering Committee member Donna Lane presented the check to Horicon Principal Dr. Bev Flynn, and discussed ways in which FoGR might further assist students to understand and appreciate their unique environment.
