Meet Auri, an 8th grade ASD Fine Arts student at Central Middle School of Science. Auri's art was selected by a panel of judges to be gifted to the winners of the 2023-24 Denali Award winners, which is the highest award offered by the District to employees.

Auri chose to write a poem as her bio:

“As the warm air breezes through my hair
The sun softly kisses my face
In this place where I escape
Is where my dreams and thoughts
Sway back and forth like flowers
I find FREEDOM”
