On Friday, January 15, 2016, the LHS Cafeteria hosted over 250+ pieces of Western/Rodeo Art to be judged for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo! 
It was an epic show of 2 FIRSTS for Liberty!


Normally, LHS sends 3 pieces to Houston... 
This Year, LHS was awarded it's 1st Special Merit Award!
Which means we have 4 pieces going to Houston!!!!

Normally, LES, LMS, & LHS are the only campuses represented... 
This Year, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Elene Takach's 1st grade class... 
San Jacinto Elementary had 22 artists participating 
& one was a FINALIST who almost made it to Houston!


Special Thanks to Mrs. Elene Takach (SJE), Mrs. Jessie Smith (LES), Mrs. Jacqui Hamel (LMS), & all my wonderful LHS art students who not only created artwork for the show, but helped with matting, setup & cleanup. All of your efforts are greatly appreciated in making this show one of the best yet!
