Local Student's Art Could Get International Exposure

Rhode Islanders are invited to vote for the fourth-grader's drawing to grace the Google homepage.


Katie Heenan's "Deep Sea Search," the RI finalist in Google's national Doodle 4 Google contest, needs online votes to beat out the national competition.

Americans will weigh in on their favorite doodles from May 1 through May 10 at the Doodle 4 Google website. If she wins, Katie's drawing will be featured on Google's home page for a day, and she'll get a $30,000 scholarship —  and LaPerche School in Smithfield would get a $50,000 technology grant.
