When describing the honorees at the Clarkston Foundation Student Recognition Awards on Feb. 5, Clarkston Junior High School Principal Adam Kern said they possessed many attributes.
The performing arts students are family and make everyone feel welcome while being hard working and strong leadership skills. The visual arts students have had art in their life since they were young and get their inspiration from everything around them.
