Discover Talented Junior Kitty Gromman has recently made herself known to the entire student body at Prairie High School by winning the school sponsored poster contest “Education Steps to a Better Tomorrow.” Her prize winning poster was put on display for everyone to see, and she received many well-deserved comments as to how nice of a job she had done. This is not the first time, however, that her work has been highly praised. Kitty, at age 16, has been interested, and involved in art for a long time. “I knew I wanted to be an artist since Iwas 5 years old in tot lot,” says Kitty. She’s entered many projects in various competitions and won numerous awards. Each year, Kitty enters the “Hobby Show.” The Hobby Show is a competition between the Cedar Rapids area schools displaying the talents and hobbies of kids from kindergarten through 12th grade. The show is designed to allow kids to begin showing off their hobbies, and encourage them to keep them for later on in life. “I started taking things to the ‘Hobby Show’ when I was in 2nd grade, but I didn’t enter any sketches until I was in 5th grade. I have yet to win a blue ribbon at the Hobby Show, but I hope to get one this year,” Kitty said optimistically. Kitty plans to become either a commercial ar - tist or a cartoonist. When she gets older, she would like to own a craft shop, so that she could sell pictures that she wouldn’t normally be able to sell, and buy her materials wholesale!
