Nancy Hooks Student with her Art

By Kaylee Arnold 

Has anyone walked up to you and given you a picture cut out from a magazine? Or maybe you have sat down at your desk and found a cut out of a painting.

Nancy Hook is a senior at CHS, in her free time she sits in Mr. Mark McKenna’s room cutting out the pictures.”Nancy comes into my class almost every day just to cut out pictures,” McKenna said. The pictures are from a famous artist and magazines. She will walk around and give them to random or sometime select people. She does it just to be nice and to share the art with her peers.

Nancy will usually tell a little story to go along with the select images she shares but not always. Some people are a little shocked to her random approach but for others it's a constant occurrence, as she makes daily delivers to them.
All the kids are very welcoming at CHS. When you first come into highschool as a freshman you are scared of everyone and worried about impressions. But not, Nancy, she walks to her own beating drum and is welcoming to everyone she comes across. She is a unique individual with an artistic flair.

Some people pass the art onto their friends or may keep it. Some may even research and find out who the artist is or what the piece represents. Nancy doesn’t keep much of the art that she cuts out unless she really likes the pieces.

Mr. Scotty Owen, the Special Education teacher, believes that with her distributing the art it shows how much she cares about the student body and developing new friendships. “Nancy is very kind and has a bright future ahead of her,” Owen said

It’s going to be sad to see Nancy leave this year, as her high school years come to an end but I think we can all agree that Nancy is a very special person. She is hardworking, caring, loves artwork, and is a great example for any CHS student.
