School District 16 held its fourth annual CUTE Awards ceremony on Wednesday February 16th at the James M. Hill High School Auditorium. This annual event celebrates the Creative Use of Technology in Education. Students and Teachers had been invited to submit digitally created work produced over the previous 12 months in a variety of categories. Finalists were decided and samples of their work were displayed at the awards gala prior to the award recipient being announced. The entertaining two hour show was enjoyed by all and the event organizers worked hard to ensure a successful display of how technology is used in education.
