Roar! It's always a great day to be a Lion! It's even greater when the Central Lions Club gets to support local youth, art programs and staff, sponsor awards, and promote Lions Club International Peace Poster- all in the same evening!
On May 28, 2026, the Central High School District Spring Art Show was held at Central High School, featuring over 200 entries from both Talmadge Middle School and Central High School. Central Lions brought information about the 2026-2027 Peace Poster Contest and presented five awards to students. Awards of gift certificates for supplies and classes were presented by River Gallery https://www.rivergalleryart.com/ and Spectrum Artworx https://spectrumartworx.com/ .
This was the third year for this event, and every year the entries increase in variety and creativity. Photographs shown here are in no particular order
Central Lions sends a ROAR of gratitude to Ms. Cooney and Mr. Avery of CHS and to Mr. Hoke of Talmadge Middle School for encouraging their students to participate.
