DERBY - Markers, paints, colored pencils, and of course, crayons, are now in good supply at Irving School.

That's because the school is one of only 20 nationwide to be awarded the 2012 "Champion Creatively Alive Children's Grant" sponsored by Crayola and the National Association of Elementary School Principals.
The $3,000 grant included $500 worth of supplies for students' artistic endeavors.

Please check out a story about the grant award by my colleague Jean Falbo-Sosnovich in today's paper.
