“I would like to thank the CFISD art teachers for encouraging their students to submit entries in the Treasures of the Texas Coast Children’s Art Contest,” said Lee Carrier, CFISD visual arts coordinator. “With our community spending more time outdoors and on the beaches, this contest was a great activity for students to be conscious of keeping their neighborhood and community clean. When CFISD students use their artistic talents to create environmental awareness, it is a commendable act to be recognized for and I am proud of the participating students and those who received an award.”
