Every year Museum of the Everglades collaborates with our local school – one of the last two K-12 public schools on a single campus in the state of Florida – to create an exhibit that celebrates a specific aspect of this unique community. Students submit artwork, photos, videos, stories, interviews and more to help us share a part of the character and history of the area with visitors from around the world. A contest with cash prizes is held with a variety of categories open to currently enrolled students of all ages.
This year we have invited them to join us in celebrating America 250 by sharing what the American Spirit means to them and how their lives and those of their families and friends connect them to the two and a half century-long tradition of pursuing the American Dream.
The exhibit will be augmented with historic information and established traditional stories that provide context for the creative responses the students have submitted.
