Young Artists Featured At Suntrust Bank

Marti Lotman
Benjamin lower school artists in grades 1 through 5 participated in an art competition at SunTrust Bank the night of January 17. Young artists and their family and friends viewed art from each grade level during a reception hosted in their honor. 10 pieces of art from each grade were chosen to be displayed in the North Palm Beach bank branch for a three-week long exhibition. The works were then judged by artists in the community. The winning work from each grade was chosen to be professionally framed and hung in the local SunTrust branch for the remainer of the school year.

"The Benjamin School Young Artist Competition was a wonderful connection between the SunTrust Bank, our school and the local community. The exhibit showcased oustanding artwork created by students in the Benjamin lower school. The artwork shared a glimpse into my classroom and insight into the children's creative perspective," art teacher Ro Sammis, coordinator of the event, said.

"Every work at the SunTrust Bank exhibit exemplifies the extremely high level of accomplishment that our youngest artists are capable of. The grade level projects incorporate many diverse ideas, materials and processes to create art!"

Congratulations to our young winners:

1st grade - Branson Smith
2nd grade - Grace Zebrowski
3rd grade - Caroline Groffman
