2008 Middle School Art Contest

On August 15, 1945, when the neighbors in the 2200 block of St. Roch Street in New Orleans heard the news that Japan had surrendered and the war was finally over, they spontaneously paraded through the streets, celebrating America’s long-fought for victory in WWII.  Celebrations like this one erupted across the Home Front in communities large and small.  What they all shared in common was the sense that all Americans had been part of the fight—and all Americans had been part of the victory. 

The theme of this year’s art contest was Teamwork.   

Below are the winners: Congratulations!
