Charter Day School student Lily Lopez won second place amongst all 3-5 grade students in a Brunswick County art contest. The contest, entitled “Blueprint Brunswick 2040,” challenged students to create a piece of art envisioning Brunswick County in the year 2040. It was part of a larger “Blueprint Brunswick” initiative to create plans to “guide future growth, decisions, and investments in infrastructure and services within Brunswick County.”

Lily Lopez commented, “I am so excited! I based my artwork off what I think my neighborhood will be like in the future. It took a week for me to finish! I am super thankful for all the great art lessons we have received at Charter Day School. They really helped! I also love the art supplies I won!”
