Attention 5th Graders!
Would you like to have your very own artwork on the front cover of the yearbook this year? Now is your chance to show your creativity to the school. Fifth graders may submit a yearbook cover entry to their classroom teachers by November 16th for consideration in the contest. Teachers will blindly vote on the winner which will then be revealed at the end of the year. No late submissions will be accepted.
This year’s theme is, “Franconia Elementary, Ripples of Kindness.” To be considered, the entry must be submitted on a blank 8.5 x 10 inch sheet of paper and include the School name and theme somewhere on the paper. It must be original artwork.
Be creative fifth grade! Show your best work! The winning entry will be printed on this year’s yearbook. Contact Kelli Adams, chrisandkelli@comcast.net with questions.
