    The Kealakehe Intermediate School Art Department and the Kiwanis Club of Kailua-Kona recently announced the winners of the 2021 Kealakehe Intermediate School Art Content. The theme of the second annual contest required the students, primarily in grades seven and eight, to artistically portray what Kiwanis means to them. Prior to beginning, the students were furnished with information on the Kiwanis Club of Kailua-Kona by art teacher Starr Anastasio. They were also encouraged to independently research information on Kiwanis. Entries were submitted by over 60 students, with 32 turned over to the judges who were represented by members of the Kiwanis Club and residents of the Regency Hualalai. Kiwanis judges Kathy Huckabay, Carol Greenwell, Warren Huckabay and Guy Parillo along with Regency judges Carolyn Emery and Rachelle Moore were faced with the pleasant but very demanding task of narrowing down the artwork to the top eight.

    Taking first place was Kaylie Costello followed by a tie for second place between Kat Garcia Avendano and Giselle Minez-Cruz. Finishing out the top four was Tymani Hardie.

    Honorable mentions went to Jazzy Janel Isidro, Illihia Del Rosario, Andrey Kanehailua, and Stephanie Jimenez Castaneda.

    The talented students were awarded cash prizes and gift certificates donated by Kiwanis Club members. The winning artwork will be placed on display in several locations in Kailua-Kona, starting with the Regency Hualalai.
