South Jones Elementary Student Wins National Art Contest
Faye Thomas, a student of Mechelle Shoemake at South Jones Elementary, participated in the NOAA Marine Debris Calendar Art Contest.  Faye’s artwork was chosen to be in the calendar and represents the month of February.  The art featured in the calendar is all original and created by students from across the U.S. in K-8th grades.  The art that was chosen was based on creativity, artistic presentation, relevance to the theme, and how thoroughly students answered two questions about how marine debris impacts their lives.  The NOAA Marine Debris Program leads national and international efforts to research, prevent, and reduce the impact of marine debris.  The Program’s mission is to identify and solve the problems that stem from marine debris in order to conserve and protect our nation’s marine environment and coastal economy.
