LaFayette Student Artwork Earns National Recognition

Recently, a LaFayette Junior/Senior High School student learned that her artwork had earned the National Silver Medal from the 2025 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards! Eighth grade student Evelyn Borchert received this incredible distinction for her mixed media piece "Meadow."  

Per the organization's award letter: 

"Nearly 110,000 teens entered more than 310,000 original works of art and writing to the 2025 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Your work was selected by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts for excellence in originality, skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision."

This is an incredible honor, and the district is incredibly proud of Evelyn's accomplishment. Congratulations! 

LaFayette Central School District Art Teacher Danielle Robinson also received the "Educator's Award" distinction from the Scholastic organization, "as an outstanding educator whose dedication, commitment and guidance are represented by student work selected for national honors." Congratulations go out to Danielle as well!
