Congratulations to all the students who were selected for this year Permanent Art Collection. A student from each K-8 school and several from Piscataway High School were celebrated on Thursday, March 13, along with their families in a ceremony at our Administration Building. The event displaying their beautiful artwork was hosted by Supervisor of Visual & Performing Arts Rebekah Sterlacci and attended by the Board of Education, district administration, and the students’ principals and art teachers. The artwork will hang for the next year in the Admin Building’s Board Room, after which it will find homes throughout the district.
