The Catholic Foundation has announced local artist Tanya Joiner Slate as the winner of the 2016 ‘A Year on the Plaza’ Art Competition. Her artwork, “Trinity River Origami,” was unveiled on the 28-by-9-foot public art wall in The Catholic Foundation Plaza during a ceremony on Oct. 12 and will remain on display for one year.

During the first half of the 2016-17 school year, 30 Dallas-area Catholic school employees received a Work of Heart Award from The Catholic Foundation for outstanding service at their school, modeling a Christian example, or going above and beyond for an individual student, family or community.

Now more than ever, schools are fighting to keep students engaged and equipped for future success. Listening to music on tape does not compare to a live classical brass performance followed by a question-and-answer session with the musicians. A lecture-based biology lesson does not resonate as strongly as learning hands-on by dissecting a cow’s eyeball. At Catholic schools across Dallas, students are participating in these and other arts and science enrichment activities, thanks to the generous donors of The Catholic Foundation.
