Check out this big news from Little Rock~ Arkansas Peace Week recently hosted a Youth Art Contest. The contest was open to students in 1st - 12th grade and addressed the theme: “What does peace mean to you? Depict a more peaceful community in your art entry.” They received over 2,000 art entries from all over the state. Award winners were announced at an event at the Arkansas State Capitol Rotunda on September 23rd and we are pleased to announce that our very own 7th grade Ram, Ada Chen, brought home FIRST PLACE! Congratulations Ada! Your Ram Family is proud of you!
