"The exhibition is done every year internationally and this is our second year that we have won. Last year we won one bronze medal. This year we won two out of 30,000 entries around the world. We have a variety of expressive arts in our school. We have a total of about 12 - 13 students, now we are introducing music into the expressive art program. The art is a program that we have free of cost in the evenings and we have a very dedicated volunteer, she has the passion and the love for art. We worked through summer and over the Easter to have our pieces together."
"With this exhibition, every year - this is 2nd year that we have been submitting out art through NICH and they have been very supportive with the program. Our parents, teachers, our community are very supportive of the program we are doing here at St. Joseph School."
Last year the school competed in the exhibition and also won a bronze medal.
