Home of the Brave

Student Cindy Fraire took a personal, emotional moment and transformed it into an award-winning, inspirational piece of art. Congressman Vincente Gonzalez proudly presented the Congressional Art Competition Award to Faire for the year 2022-23 for her piece representing the feeling received during a moment of reunion between her aunt and cousin. To accompany the award, she will have her artwork shown in The Cannon Tunnel of the U.S Capitol for a whole year.  The tunnel is the most highly traveled access point between the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Capitol and her piece will reach the eyes of Members of Congress, distinguished visitors, and tens of thousands of tourists -from the United States and abroad. Her school, community, and family are extremely proud of Faire and her outstanding accomplishment.
