Celebrate the Hills Art Winners
Joe Cooper, Art Instructor at Logan-Magnolia schools, was the honorary judge at “Celebrate the Hills” Art Show in early October.
He wrote, “I grew up in a small town in Big Springs of western Nebraska, just a few miles from Colorado. I went to college at University of Nebraska at Kearney and experienced a good five years in Kearney receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree – K-12 Art Education.”
“I have been a secondary art teacher for 24 years, and have loved the ride. In my spare time I most like painting, golfing, hiking, and recently pickleball. I feel fortunate to
live in the Midwest, surrounded by great people. I am getting to know this area more and
more and have a great appreciation for its beauty.
