On Thursday, January 12, the Alvin ISD Fine Arts Department welcomed community members to the Alvin ISD Liberty Alumni Hall for the annual Rodeo Art Open House. Visitors were able to see many wonderful pieces of rodeo art, listen to live entertainment, enjoy a barbeque meal, and dessert by Rollie’s Frozen Custard. The Rodeo Art Open House continues to be one of the Districts largest events. Thank you to everyone that participated!
Congratulations to the following students. They were chosen by The HLSR Rodeo Art committee to represent our district as Best of Show, Gold Medal, and Special Merit award winners.
