Jonathan Law seniors Dana Laufer and Jeffrey Eng recently won Outstanding Arts Awards.

Each year, the Connecticut Association of Schools hosts its Annual Arts Recognition Banquet to honor high school visual and performing arts students.

Laufer and Eng attended the recognition dinner at the Aqua Turf Club on April 6 along with Law principal Mr. Thomspon. Two seniors from each high school in Connecticut were represented at the dinner.

Laufer and Eng both received a plaque for excellence and distinguished service for their school.

Laufer won the award for Excellence in Visual Arts and for her leadership in her art class. She was chosen for the award by the art department at Law.

“I was really surprised that I got an award like that,” Laufer said. “I did not think I would get an award like that.”

Eng won the Outstanding Arts Award for his outstanding performance in the school band. He was chosen by the music department teachers.

“I really appreciated getting this award,” Eng said.

Each member school of the Connecticut Association of Schools selected two seniors who are outstanding in the areas of performing and/or visual arts. Some of the programs honored include art, dance, drama, or music.
