The artwork of 20 students from Lakeville, Leonard, and Daniel Axford elementaries, as well as some from Oxford Middle School, has been chosen to adorn the walls of the Orion Art Center.
‘These students had excellent outcomes with their projects and (are) representative of students in (all three) schools,? said Linda Dzurka, art teacher for Lakeville and Leonard elementaries.
