March 29, 2021 … Mike Parent, President of Rotary Southwick, and Susan Kochanski, Chair, Southwick Cultural Council, together announced the winners of the Artistic Expression Contest held during the month of March.  The title of the contest was “How Covid-19 has Changed My High School Experience!”   Students were requested to express their experiences through a written essay, poem, drawing, painting or a photo.

The contest allowed an opportunity for students to chronicle their perceptions and experiences made during a year-plus long global pandemic.  These expressions can be part of a history that no one can describe unless they experienced it. 

An essay by Brienne Senez; drawings by Lexi Monczka, Allison Kingsley, and Robin Berry; and paintings by Jillian Lemon and Rebecca Bertera were selected and each student will receive a cash award from Rotary and the Cultural Council.
