 Tulip Art
More than 80 Mount Vernon High School students representing 12 high school clubs braved the wind and rain last Tuesday to participate in the annual Tulip Competition, a tradition at MVHS. Despite the less-than-cooperative weather, enthusiasm ran high as students vyed for the coveted first place award. By 6:00 p.m., the designs were in place and a group of judges made their way to the top of "Old Main" for a birds-eye view of the creations. The top three winners were:
- First Place - MEChA Club
- Second Place - Key Club
- Third Place - LEAP Club
Other clubs participating were: FCCLA, DECA, Life Skills, Art, Latin, Honors in Science, AVID, National Honor Society, and Choir. The first, second, and third place designs garnered $300, $200 and $100 respectively, and each club received $25 for participating.
