Two area Catholic school students have been named national winners in a prestigious annual art competition for children.
Andrea Verch, a seventh grader from the Regina Coeli Academy in Abington, and Toni Frank, an eighth grader at St. James Regional Catholic School in Ridley Park, were among the 24 young artists whose designs were honored this week by the Missionary Childhood Association (MCA) at the conclusion of its 2019-20 National Christmas Artwork Contest.
