around gilbert & SUMMIT

Each year the Gilbert Community Club, which sponsors the Lexington County Peach Festival, invites students from each of our Gilbert schools to enter the “Peachy Arts Contest”. The student’s art work should celebrate peaches and patriotism. The students can choose the media they wish to use, which includes photography, watercolor, acrylic, or mixed media. Prior to the end of school, the art work was judged. We are excited to announce the winners. The art will be displayed in the lobby of Gilbert Primary School at this year’s July 4 Peach Festival.
