The winners were selected from a pool of 280 entries from students in 54 schools in 10 school districts, as well as students served by the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. Students were judged in visual arts, essays, poetry, photography, musical score and class performance.
"The Art and Writing Celebration provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their talents and interests, which may not otherwise be recognized when focusing on academic standards," said Joann Reilly, administrator for the West End SELPA. "It is also an opportunity to celebrate the families and teachers who nurture these individuals and provide the support needed for them to develop their abilities."

The West End SELPA consists of Alta Loma, Central, Chaffey Joint Union High, Chino Valley Unified, Cucamonga, Etiwanda, Mountain View, Mt.
