Gilberto Agripino and Sonya Le are two of six winners of the full steam ahead with books art competition in the third- through fifth-grade individual category. Sponsored by Nestlé USA, the competition encourages students in Reading Is Fundamental programs to create art that expresses how books have fueled their passion for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics — or STEAM subjects. Students created winning pieces during an art honors class, which meets after school Thursdays at Gainesville Exploration Academy.
