ROE's 'WOW' Student Photo Contest Week 7: St. Edward Captures Image of True Loyalty

ROE’s ‘WOW’ Student Photo Contest Week 7: St. Edward Captures Image of True Loyalty

Happy early Thanksgiving to our Kane County community members! The ROE is grateful to all of the teachers and students that are participating in the ROE’s Third Annual Photo Contest and making it better than ever. In seven weeks, we have received nearly 400 photos from nine area high schools! This effort to highlight the arts is possible thanks to the time and skills of our talented teachers and the students taking these amazing photos.

The ROE is excited to unveil the full details on the Photography Exhibition, set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec 15. The event will again be held at Water Street Studios in Batavia, with trophies created by Image Awards and presented by Regional Superintendent Patricia Dal Santo.

During the reception, there will be music provided by Batavia High School’s Orchestra, delicious appetizers provided by Batavia High School’s Culinary Arts Class, and lovely matted photography from our students on display.
