LITTLE SILVER- Red Bank Regional Creative Writing Majors in the Visual & Performing Arts Academy once again earned a bounty of awards in the prestigious national Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, which is sponsored by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers. Four students won national awards with Jordan Fleming of Red Bank winning a gold medal. Silver medals went to: Skylar Ebe, Willow Martin, and Mya Nunnally. Selected students will be invited with their teacher, Dr. Gretna Wilkinson, to attend the award ceremonies at Carnegie Hall on June 2. National winners represent less than 1 percent of nearly 320,000 works of art and writing submitted. Student works are submitted from all over the nation. Fleming and other gold medalist winners will have their work displayed at the National Exhibition at the New School Parsons School of Design, and Pratt Institute’s Pratt Manhattan Gallery from June 2 to 12.
