Superintendent's Holiday Card Contest

Each year, the WSFCS System along with the Art Department and Superintendent hold a Holiday Card Contest.  Art Teachers at each school decide how many students participate, sometimes certain grade levels and other times the whole school.  For our contest, all students grades kindergarten through fifth have the opportunity to complete a black and white pen and ink drawing to enter in the contest.  During this unit, students learn pen and ink techniques, such as how to use hatching, crosshatching, and stippling to create shadow, texture, and dimensions.  Once the contest is complete, cards are sorted, and those cards that are completely finished, include all pen and ink techniques and followed the guidelines during class move on to the next round of the contest and are considered honorable mention winners.  After the judging process, two designs are sent on to Central Office to compete in the official Superintendent's Holiday Card Contest.

Congratulations to Shirley Mogollon Mendez and Alyssa Young for being our Top, Grand Prize School Winners and competing at the Central Office Level for the Holiday Card Contest.
