Despite the challenges of the pandemic shut-downs, Napa Valley students have continued to create art. Arts Council Napa Valley (ACNV) began 2021 by recognizing 11 students from Calistoga to American Canyon for excellence in the arts.
Each student was singled out by their teacher for âgoing beyond,â âalways showing up,â and most importantly, âinspiring others.â
ACNV judges agreed two studio art students at the high school and middle/elementary levels were deserving of honor, resulting in two ties in that category. Other students were recognized for excellence in choir, theater, digital media, instrumental music and dance.
Here are Februaryâs Student of the Month winners:

OTTAWA - Petty officer Richard Austin was sitting at his position on board HMCS Athabaskan when he heard a clang. It was 1991, and the Canadian destroyer was traversing an Iraqi minefield in the Persian Gulf, on its way to rescue a crippled American warship.
âI remember waiting for the bang,â Austin recalls of those tense few moments nearly 30 years later. âLooking at the two pictures of my sons on the top of the weapons panel. The bang never came.â
