Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush is proud to announce the winners of the 2018 Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach Treasures of the Texas Coast Children’s Art Contest. The grand prize winner, selected from the 40 overall winners, was Finley White, a 5th grader at Jacob’s Well Elementary in Wimberley.
“Thousands of children across the state participated in the 22nd anniversary Treasures of the Texas Coast Children’s Art Contest,” Bush said. “This contest is a great way for young Texans to show their artistic skill and vision while learning about the natural beauty of our precious coast.”
Two St. Mary students were among the 40 to be recognized. They are Madelyn Smith and Isabella Tran. Cindy Claybar is their art teacher.
Finley’s artwork, along with Madelyn, Isabella and the other 37 runners-up, will appear on the cover of the 2019 Adopt-A-Beach calendar, which will be distributed statewide. The artwork of all winners will be on public display in the South-Central Gallery of the Texas Capitol May 22nd – 29th for all visitors to view and appreciate.
