CCHS artists show well at competition

CCHS artists show well at competition

Jaime Shafer, an art teacher at the high school announced that six of her students have won awards from the prestigious Inova Art Contest. The contest opened up in March and is an initiative of the Inova Apartment partnership that provided an opportunity to showcase the resiliency and creativity of artists all over the United States.

There were ten prize winners, 20 student prize winners, and 42 honorable mentions. Organizers said they received over 850 beautiful works of art for the various categories in this competition. Participants ranged from pre-teens to adults in categories involving fashion, sculptures, and different styles of painting/drawing.

“Each artist took time to create or share an existing piece that meant the most to them personally, while unknowingly capturing a collective moment in time,” from the media information regarding the contest.

Shafer’s students Breanna Busby and Tully Barton (both recent graduates), Tierney Hitchcraft, Makayla Showcraft, Macall Brown, and Meeka Erwin were all CCHS winners in the contest.

Normally, outside of COVID, Shafer presents student work on display at Banner Churchill Hospital and the Churchill County Administration building.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
