(Washington, D.C.)- Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Maryland 2nd) honors a 17-year old Lutherville student who won Safeway’s “Art of Dairy” contest. Mary Bolgiano, a Junior at Notre Dame Preparatory (NDP) in Towson, created “Revol-moo-tion” by decorating a life-size plaster model of a cow. Her cow was chosen out of 9,000 entries and awarded the grand prize. Ms. Bolgiano has always been creative and comes from a family of talented artists. Her art teacher at NDP, Ann Walker, encouraged her to participate in the contest. Safeway hopes to promote artistic creativity, academic excellence, and healthy lifestyles with the program. “Mary Bolgiano is a talented, creative young artist who worked for hours to perfect her creation. I applaud such hard work and dedication. I come from a family of educators. My wife, sister, mother, and sister-in-law were all teachers. I truly believe that art is a critical component of a well rounded education,” said Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Maryland 2nd). Ms. Bolgiano and Ms. Walker will receive $1,000 from Safeway and the Art Department at NDP will receive $20,000. (####) |
