"My photo students at Sandwich Secondary in LaSalle, Ontario, first participated in this locally sponsored community photo show by retail store Pressure Drop. Reading through you will find two of the student photos and their explanation of their works and feelings about the pandemic, etc. I first entered myself with my works (will add the link) and then decided to get them involved as all extracurricular was cancelled this year. I also wanted them to see that I was participating in shows as an educator and working artist - feel that this is super important." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/ford-city-windsor-pictures-1.5935228.

We usually participate in the Leamington Art Centre's annual photography exhibition: 8×10: 2021 Amateur Photography Contest. This is not a student exhibition, rather a community one open to all amateur photographers. We received an Honourable Mention for a Gr. 11 student Rhyen Waspe in the Architecture category "Clinging Beauty."
Our principal's daughter (other local high school - General Amherst High School in Amherstburg, Ontario) placed 2nd in the Abstract category in that same juried exhibition. "April in Abstract"
