The Westport Public Schools Visual Arts program launched their new annual art show, SPARK, June 12-19 at MoCA, Westport. Inspired by the imagination and self expression of Westport students K-12, SPARK represents the creative spirit at work in Westport schools each day. 

The exhibition served as an expressive platform for students in visual arts and was enjoyed and celebrated by many including Westport families, students and staff.

Staples High School students Sophie Alcyone and Sasha Maskoff, two of approximately 300 top Connecticut seniors who excel in the arts, were honored at the 27th Annual High School Arts Awards. The Connecticut Association of Schools (CAS) honored the top seniors with plaques for excellence and distinguished service at a banquet on April 5 at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, CT.
