A big thanks goes out to two generous Lake Barcroft residents, Joel Gregorio and Stephanie Kozemchak, who volunteered their time to judge for this year’s Reflections Art Program at Belvedere Elementary. Reflection’s is a national art recognition program in its 42nd year.

Joel Gregorio, our Lake Barcroft Newsletter Photo Editor, judged the photography category of this year’s Reflections program. Stephanie Kozemchak, a local art teacher/tutor with extensive art teaching experience, judged the visual arts category.

We received a record 130 entries in the areas of literature, film & video, photography, and music. Two of our students went on to win an “award of excellence” (2nd place) at Council level. The children were delighted to receive award & participation ribbons at an ice cream social at Belvedere this past month.

The Belvedere PTA is very grateful to them for volunteering their talents and many hours of their own personal time to judge the children’s artwork.

Thank you, Stephanie and Joel, for your commitment to our community and school.
