Members of Ansonia High School’s Art Club stand beside a sampling of their work recently after adding a creative and wintry mix of snowflakes to the ANSONIA 125 display that has been seen at many events throughout the year.

Instructor Nancy Bennett-Morgenstern happily collaborated with ANSONIA 125 Deputy Event Coordinator Pat Henri to give the display a festive holiday facelift. 

Ansonia is celebrating its 125th birthday this year.

The full display will be on hand Friday at Veterans Park next to City Hall on Main Street for Ansonia’s annual tree lighting.

All residents are invited to attend to see the Art Club’s imaginative styling in its entirety while enjoying the tree lighting, caroling, a visit from Santa, and doughnuts and hot chocolate.


Members of the AHS Art Club are:

Ta'naisha Bagley

Tina Person

Cheyanne Rodriguez

Rebecca Kardos

Sash-Shawnna Rubie

Mercedes McClellan

Kaitlyn Sengphilom

Da'Quan Thomas
