Bay View Academy Students Earn Gold and Silver Keys In Scholastic Art Competition

East Providence, RI – A Bay View Academy student has once again earned a coveted prize in the Scholastic Art competition, a Gold Key for Portfolio. Grace Sneesby, a senior from Providence, RI, earned the prestigious award for her body of work submitted, as well as an additional Silver Key in the Drawing category. Her teacher, Mary Jane Andreozzi (Seekonk, MA), says that Grace is a “student who is gifted with a natural talent for visual art. She has a passion for the subject that is evident in her work.
