Celebrating Our Students' Achievements in the 2025 National Wind Energy Art Challenge

Our class has achieved remarkable success in the 2025 National Wind Energy Art Challenge! This prestigious competition invited students from kindergarten through 8th grade across the United States to showcase their creativity under the theme "Beautiful Wind Energy."
Notably, our students Albert H. and Cindy Z. were recognized for their outstanding artworks, "Landscape with Windmill and Moon" and "My Dream Windmill Landscape," respectively. Their artistic vision and expressive skills left a strong impression on the judges, earning them well-deserved recognition in this highly competitive event.
However, beyond the awards, this competition was an incredible opportunity for all students to unleash their imagination and grow through artistic expression. Every student put in tremendous effort, and their dedication and creativity were truly inspiring. I want to congratulate each and every one of them for their hard work and passion.
This achievement is not only a testament to individual talent but also reflects the depth and quality of our class’s art education. I am proud to guide these young artists and will continue to support them in expressing themselves and developing their skills through art.
Congratulations to all our students, whether they received an award or not! Your creativity and enthusiasm make a difference, and I look forward to seeing more amazing works from you in the future.

Through this year’s National Wind Energy Art Challenge, our students had a wonderful opportunity to capture the beauty of the sky and the elegant forms of wind turbines through their artwork. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the event organizers for providing such a meaningful platform for young artists to express their creativity while engaging with an important environmental theme.
This marks the second year that my students and I have participated in this competition, and each time, the experience has been both inspiring and enriching. A special appreciation goes to Asia Ward, the  Social Practice Installation Artist and Science Communicator of this event, whose dedication and enthusiasm have consistently fostered a welcoming and supportive environment. Her passion for art education and her commitment to nurturing young talents serve as a beacon of hope for the future of creative learning. I deeply admire her efforts and the positive impact she has on students and educators alike.
Beyond being an art competition, this event has also provided a valuable educational experience, allowing students to explore the significance and mechanics of renewable energy. Through their artistic creations, they have gained a deeper understanding of wind power and its role in shaping a sustainable future. More than just a means of self-expression, art serves as a powerful tool to connect with society, reflect on global challenges, and envision a brighter, more innovative tomorrow.
This competition has once again demonstrated that art is not only about aesthetics—it is about storytelling, education, and inspiring change. As we continue this journey, I am excited to see how my students will use their creativity to contribute to meaningful conversations about our world and its future. I look forward to participating in this event for years to come, fostering artistic growth and environmental awareness hand in hand.
