Twin Towers
students get artwork published
FEB. 2006— Four Twin Towers Middle
School students are having their artwork published in
Catching Days and Chasing Nights, a collection
of original poetic stories that describe the thoughts,
dreams and experiences of children.
The author, Don
Napolitini, a local Middletown businessman, contacted
40 Orange County schools to submit student artwork to
illustrate his book. Over 4,200 pieces of
artwork were submitted from which 39 illustrations
were chosen and published. Four of the 39 published
student artists attend Twin Towers Middle School and
have Kim Dodge as their art teacher. They are: Gabriana
Guzman; Katey Knapp; Jessilyn Laput; and
Aaron Segarra.
"It is thrilling for
our students to have their art work published at such
a young age," said Dodge. "These students spent a
great deal of time studying the poetry for descriptive
imagery, working on creating good compositions, and
developing technique skills. We are all very proud of
their accomplishments." Students were honored
at the
February 9, 2006,
Board of Education meeting.
