■ Pieter B. Coeymans third-grade
student's artwork to be published
 (Feb.
11, 2010)- PBC third grader Annabelle Conover will see
her artwork published in an upcoming issue of Magic
Dragon Magazine, a quarterly magazine that publishes
writing and artwork from children up to age 12 from
all over the U.S. Conover's art teacher, Ms. Wolfe,
submitted her piece titled "A Turkey" last year when
Conover was in second grade. In creating "A Turkey,"
Conover used a scratchboard technique.
Following is a poem Conover wrote to accompany her
artwork:

"I am
so proud of Annabelle," said Ms Wolfe. "She is a
very talented artist."
