In a society supposedly governed as a representative democracy, perhaps the most fundamental right held by its citizens is the right to vote.

Boerne High School freshmen Mykala Jones, right, and Brayden Gardner recently attended the Visual Arts Scholastic Event at San Marcos High School and earned the highest rating of 4 and gold medals for their artwork. Jones also received the $1,000 Dr. Jim Henderson Memorial Scholarship. The Hendersons founded VASE in 1994, and Mrs. Henderson personally chose Jones’ painting out of the 950 state medalists to earn the scholarship scholarship. Starting with 30,643 artwork entries statewide, narrowing to 1,974 state qualifiers for the state VASE event, there were a total of 950 pieces with a 4 state rating to earn gold medals.
