Mendon 6th Grader up for ‘Artsonia Artist of the Week’ in National Contest

A Mendon 6th grader named Matthew is up for artist of the week in Artsonia’s national weekly art contest.

Artsonia is the world’s largest online student art museum.  Alice Gentili, the 5th and 6th grade art teacher at Miscoe Hill, began using the online art museum for her students art work a couple of years ago.
