the past eight years, Mrs. Judith Greenberg, the language arts teacher on Team

The winning entries will be a part of a traveling exhibit to be displayed throughout Morris County during the year. In addition, Brenda’s artwork will be displayed on June 5, 2005 in a juried art show at the Griffin Art Gallery in Madison, New Jersey.
Each Team L contributor received a certificate of participation at an awards ceremony held in the Lincoln School auditorium on Wednesday, May 25, 2005. The nine winners showed and explained their artwork or read their written work to their peers.
