For the past several years, students from the School District of Collier County have provided framed artwork for Senator Burt Saunders to display in his Tallahassee office during the legislative session.

The legislative session begins the first week of March and goes through the first week of May. It has become a tradition in Tallahassee and many legislative members and staff stop in just to view the artwork.

They are always impressed by the students’ talent. Senator Saunders recognizes each student with a letter and a certificate of appreciation from the Senate.

Congratulations to the following students and their teachers for having their artwork selected.
