New York - Saratoga County Fair officials recently announced that the Ballston Spa Central School District was selected as one of the top three districts in the school exhibit competition! Student artwork and academic projects were entered from all six schools in the district, producing an outstanding exhibit. Student projects ranged from individual artwork, to photography, a wall size Elvis mural and even a large spider sculpture.
The High School art department was also awarded the outstanding group project for the foam art sculpture.
