Cholkas honored by art group


New Richmond Elementary School visual arts teacher Amy Cholkas has received the Circa Recognition Award from the Ohio Art Education Association and inducted into the OAEA Circa Honor Society at the association’s annual conference in Dayton in November.

The OAEA Circa Society honors OAEA educators who have shown long term service and professional dedication to OAEA and the field of visual art education in Ohio.

The Ohio Art Education Association is Ohio’s professional organization for nearly 2000 of Ohio’s visual art educators and promotes educational growth and leadership within its membership.

“Congratulations to the New Richmond Exempted Village School District for having this outstanding educator in your district,” said Kathryn Cahill, OAEA membership chair.
