Cascade and H.M. Jackson high school students take photography awards

In the 2008 Snohomish Arts Council annual Black and

White Photography contest, the work of Cascade and H.M.

Jackson students earned more than one third of the

awards. In addition, Jordan DeGaetano, a Cascade junior

took the Grand Prize award for his entry 21

st

Century

Madonna. Of the 16 other awards granted in the contest's

two categories, six went to students in grades 10, 11 or 12

from Cascade or H.M. Jackson.

Cascade art teacher Yvonne Linnabary was naturally

pleased with the judges'decisions. Needless to say I am

thrilled that one of our students won Best of Show. This is

the second time our program has been honored with that

award. In 2005, we also took Best of Show, plus first,

second and third place awards. It is an embarrassment of

riches, and my treasures are my students. They are

amazing.
