Burnsville, Minn. – Nov. 8, 2004 – Students enrolled in the Advanced MultiMedia Class at Eastview High School have produced interior panels for display in local and express Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) buses. The panels focus on themes involving school activities and transit.
The students’ artwork was reviewed by the MVTA and winning entries were selected in the two categories. Winners were: School Activities – junior Adam Gingerich; Transit – senior Dana Vorachek. The students received a certificate of award and a $25 gift certificate to Best Buy for their efforts. Additionally, a number of students received honorable mentions.
As part of their class, students had to complete a project using software such as Photoshop. As in previous years, the MVTA had the panels printed and dry mounted by Cornerstone Copy Center, for display on the interior of MVTA buses. Students were also given a copy of their final product. The students used a variety of graphics and images in producing the panels.
This project is part of a strategic partnership between the MVTA and area schools. This is the third year the MVTA has worked with Eastview High School. The MVTA has also worked with Burnsville High School students. Other area high schools interested in participating in this program are invited to contact the MVTA.
MVTA is the public transportation provider for the businesses and residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, and Savage.
