Art Contest Reminder!

Hi,

There is a postcard art contest that I hope many of our students will enter. The information is below. The children can give it to their classroom teacher when they complete it, and the school will mail them all together. The prizes are pretty amazing, and we believe our students are creative and talented so I hope they will try it.

Postcard size (100x148mm) Illustration and Design Contest

Elementary:  1st through 6th

Theme:  “I won’t forget the “thank you: on that day.”  When I’m happy, when I was having a hard time, when I was sad, I was energized by the word “thank you,” and when I said “thank you, ” I became energized myself!  The word “thank you” is like medicine.  You and I won’t forget, you and I can’t forget such a wonderful thank you on that day. 

Due:  September 17, 2024 

Have you ever been energized by the word, “Thank you” when you are happy, having a hard time, or when you were sad?  Saying “thank you” almost has a mysterious power.  You won’t forget.  You might have wanted to say thank you to someone when they helped you, but you couldn’t.  Now is your chance!   The words or care you received that happy, fun, sad, or terrible day, was healing, right?  So, draw a picture to illustrate the feeling that someone helped you and you won’t forget.  Thank you!
