The Congressional Art Awards were presented by Congresswoman Jackie Walorski at the South Bend airport Sat May 14th at 9 AM. We had 7 of our students who placed in the top 10. What we didn’t know until we got there was that 2 students had more than one piece that made the top 10. As it turns out Penn received 9 of the 10 top ten awards.
