Celebrated Participants

Celebrated Participants: Last year, we celebrated participants who have shown consistent enthusiasm over multiple years. Specifically, 22 students participated for two of the five years, 12 for three years, 5 for four years, and 2 students celebrated participating all five years. All were honored for their dedicated involvement

A heartfelt thank you to the students from Kennedy High School and American High School in Fremont for their invaluable volunteering efforts. Special thanks are also due to the FUSD art teachers and Del Campo School in Honduras for encouraging their students to participate and contribute to our competition. Their enthusiasm and commitment were crucial in bringing our community together and making last year's competition a resounding success.
