Shana O'Rourke, Monroe - Taking her artistic abilities and love of children to the next level, Shana wrote and illustrated a book about the rainforest for the children of the YMCA Kindertime Class at Stepney Elementary School.  She created a colorful 36' x 40' mural featuring the animals of the rainforest to hang at the Kindertime class.  Shana presented the book and the mural to the class in the form of a lesson.  The mural will hang each April, and the children will read the book each spring when they study the rainforest.  Shana plans to attend SUNY Morrisville to study nursing.
