"Artist of the Month" Awards

Since I began teaching, I have always displayed a piece of art in the school display case each week, and the student who created it received an "Artist of the Week" certificate. Our current school principal asked if I could display a piece of art from a student in every grade, and make an "Artist of the Month" award instead. This way, art by a student in every grade is always on display. This change makes the awards even across the grade levels, which is nice, because some years some grades have inadvertently received fewer awards than others!
