Austin Parkway Elementary School Student Receives Rising Star Award

FORT BEND ISD ― Austin Parkway Elementary School student, Marie Mays, received a Rising Star award from the Children’s Museum of Houston and the Sugar Land School of Fine Art after entering the 2009 Student Art Exhibit Kids and Teens Juried Show. Marie was one of four Austin Parkway Elementary School students to take part in the exhibit that was created to allow students to experience their artwork in an art exhibit. Students were encouraged and expected to develop new art skills and build on existing ones, while having fun. The show ran November 5, 2009 through January 3, 2010. Marie also donated one of her paintings to the Texas Children’s Hospital. The painting currently hangs in one of the hospital lounge areas.
