CVHS artist’s banner will fly high

Crescenta Valley High School senior Joanna Lee was honored at the school board meeting on Wednesday for her winning design of a banner for the Bob Hope Airport.

The Bob Hope Airport Authority Tower Banner contest was open to all students in the Glendale , Burbank and Pasadena school districts. Lee won first place for the Glendale district, along with finalists Evian Vicencio Olivares from Glendale High School and Siobhan Hebron who is also from Crescenta Valley High School.

Lee’s banner will be reproduced as a 15 foot by 24 foot banner and will hang on the main tower for three months.

A donation of $2,500 was presented to the district by the airport’s community relations manager Lucy Burghdorf. The money will support art appreciation programs in the district’s schools.
