Throughout the month of February, middle and high school students from Shark Tooth Bay had the opportunity to compete in our local Marine Life Art Competition. Students were tasked with drawing, sketching, painting, or illustrating a marine animal of their choosing.
This year, over 200 students submitted their artwork. With such a large pool of submissions, competition was tough. A board of 15 school teachers, administrators, and school board members came together and voted on their favorites. Prizes for each winner, 1st through 10th were awarded.
