This year will be marked as the first time Susquehanna Community H.S. will be entering the scholastic in two new categories: Graphic Design and Photography.
Graphic Design Entries:
Megan Garcia, inspired by another Russian Constructivist Poster, Megan photographed various objects, including her own hands and created a photo-montage design poster for the 2010 Scholastic Entry Competition.
Kyla Kemmerer completed a drawing of John Lennon built from MULTIPLE photo references, (not just one folks, she recreated him the way she wanted to see him!) and she scanned the photo into photoshop and designed a poster in homage to John Lennon.
Kaitlin Callender took on the challenge to create a poster for our NYC trip in the spring. Kaitlin followed basic design strategies learned in class and has been exploring photoshop with her own personal copy! Kaitlin worked with the the Art-Educator from home, via Facebook chat, photo upload and critique suggestions…talk about a new way to do things!
Molly Edwards is entering the yearbook photo contest and her images capture an amazing insight to Foreground, Midground and Background. Playful, colorful and perfect for any yearbook and a perfect entry to any photography contest.
Dylon Beamer is entering his Charcoal Popcorn…and we are awaiting new entries.
Remember, Entries and forms are DUE the first day we come back from school!!!
DID you get your entries in??

Dear Board and Administration,
October 7, 2008
The Yearbook Staff and I would like to extend our sincere appreciation in regards to allowing us to visit with the Josten’s Yearbook manufacturing facility in State College.
Although it is always a long venture out, it proved to be a worthwhile experience for these particular students, as many of them are also looking to future careers considerate to printing and publishing.
I would like to also comment on their excellent behavior and I was proud to have them represent Susquehanna Community H.S. on a professional level. The students are to be commended and acknowledged as leaders of their class.
Thank you,
Jime Grabowski

Congrats to 9th Grader Morgan Ofsharick!
Morgan entered her 8th grade 2-pt perspective project into the Hartford Fair and WON BEST OF SHOW!
She also entered a chalk pastel sunset she made over the summer and got First prize and Judge’s Delight.
Morgan is one of our rising stars in art with super supportive parents, I’m sure we’ll see more about her!
