(Pittsburgh, PA) A Baden Academy Charter School student is one of five students to recently win the Edgar Snyder and Associates coloring contest this year called “How to be a Hero.” According to judges, a fifth-grade student named Skylar Wesley drew a picture of her and her mom headlined “My Mom is a Hero.” She will get $1,000 to help her school expand its visual arts electives program by buying resources for it as well as getting her art displayed on a regional billboard. Skylar gave this quote when asked about how her mom is a hero and when she was asked about her work: “She always takes care of me and my siblings, even when things are really hard. I look up to her because she’s strong, kind, and she never gives up on us.”
