Magnet Schools of America designates February as an opportunity to highlight and promote magnet schools across the country. MSA invites all magnet schools to plan special events and activities during February to celebrate the success of magnet schools, students, and staff.
To help celebration, Magnet Schools of America sponsors its annual poster contest and accepts entries from all levels elementary, middle and high magnet schools. This year is the 14th anniversary of the poster contest.
Posters must illustrate, express or interpret one of all five of the 5 Pillars of Magnet Schools: diversity, innovative curriculum and professional development, academic excellence, high quality instructional systems, family and community partnerships.
We are pleased to announce that one of our 5th grade artists, Anthony Cornejo-Alvarez, will have his poster represent Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools at the National Conference for Magnet Schools of America this year. The annual conference takes place annually during the month of April. Anthony's poster was created in a Pop Art Style and symbolic of Magnet Schools and the 5 Pillars in General, but the Arts Education Icons illustrate more specifically the Pillar of Innovative Curriculum and Professional Development.
