Mosaic Digital Academy Students Sweep Top Honors in Law Day Art Contest

Five students from Mosaic Digital Academy in St. Lucie County earned top honors in this year's Law Day Art Contest, with winners spanning every level from kindergarten to senior year.

The students — Carliegh, a 12th grader; Julianna, a fourth grader; Lema and Zebediah, both second graders; and Isabella, a kindergartner — were recognized at an awards ceremony for their artwork interpreting this year's theme, "The Rule of Law and the American Dream." The school announced the wins. The contest was organized by the Friends of the Rupert J. Smith Law Library.

Five winners from a single school across seven grade levels suggest something significant: Mosaic's students didn't just enter — they dominated.

The Law Day Art Contest invites students to translate abstract civic concepts into visual expression, a challenge that asks young people to grapple with ideas that many adults struggle to articulate. That Mosaic submitted winning entries from kindergarten through 12th grade suggests the school's approach to civics education reaches students at every developmental stage.

Mosaic Digital Academy, part of St. Lucie Public Schools, operates as a digital learning campus — a model that often raises questions about student engagement and community connection. Five contest wins in a single year offer one concrete measure of both. [NEEDS VERIFICATION: total number of entries submitted district-wide or countywide, for context on the sweep's significance]

The school did not provide specific participation numbers or year-over-year contest data, figures that would sharpen the picture of how this performance compares to prior years. The TC Sentinel has reached out to St. Lucie Public Schools to confirm the full list of honoree last names, their verified grade levels, and whether the district tracks student participation in the Law Day contest annually.

The Friends of the Rupert J. Smith Law Library, which sponsors the contest, connects student creativity to the legal community each May during Law Day, a national observance established by Congress in 1958 to celebrate the rule of law.

For Mosaic, the wins arrive as digital and hybrid schools continue to prove their place in the broader St. Lucie County education landscape. Whether the school builds on this momentum in next year's contest — and whether the district formalizes support for arts-based civic education across campuses — will be worth watching when Law Day returns in May 2026.
