Six Washoe County School District (WCSD) students are being recognized for their achievements. Two are Olympic hopefuls, two National Merit Scholarship recipients, one who placed in a national art competition, and another who was one of only 100 students selected for a cyber tech scholarship.
Arika Kundu is a second grader at Roy Gomm Elementary School. She was named the state finalist in the Google Doodle competition, which had students create artwork surrounding this year’s theme: “I am strong because…” Arika’s artwork was placed in a competition with students from across the country. As a state winner, her work was featured on the Doodle for Google gallery, and she also received Google hardware and swag.
