The school’s art teacher, Kim Farnam, encourages, collects and delivers the art to the animal hospital, and the staff there enjoys judging the entries. Winners are then chosen and awards are given out, such as art supplies and gift certificates.
The art is then on display at Community Animal Hospital of Royal Palm Beach before being returned to the students.
