Saqqara, the Egyptian Burial Site
"Saqqara, is almost an hour’s drive from Cairo International Airport. It is one of Egypt’s greatest ancient sites in the middle of a rather desert-like landscape that was once filled with stunning ancient Egyptian art and architecture. Saqqara was the burial ground of the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis and is home to numerous pyramids and tombs. Saqqara is located in Egypt, around 17 miles south of downtown Cairo. The best way to get there is via a privately hired car or taxi, and it is recommended that you hire either for the full day so you may get around each of the site’s attractions easily."
3rd - 5th Lego Winner
4th grader Simon T.
Pergamum
"Pergamum was an an early center of Christianity on Turkey. I think this is cool because ancient ruins show what old earth might have looked like. On the roof I tried to mimic things that may have been gold, or torches for light. I used tiles on the floor for a nice floor texture. I pulled off some of the tiles and leaned some against other tiles to make it look like ruins. I made broken pillars and undergrowth. I also made fallen pillars."

March Photo Contest Winners - Theme: Spring Breaking
Ella B. 1st Grade CASC
My photo is of my very favorite plant in our flower bed island. It is one of the first to bloom when Spring arrives! The tiny white flowers all over are so beautiful. The brightness of the mounds of white really show up and stand out!
My mom told me about the plants and how they were always called “candy tuffâ€, when she was growing up. I love learning about the plants and flowers with my mom!
Riley B. 5th Grade CASC
Spring Breaking at home, in the Upstate of South Carolina, means crisp mornings that turn into mild, warm afternoons. One of the very first signs of Spring, that my little sister and I wait and watch for, are these beautiful tulips in my photo. They are especially important to us, because we planted them ourselves 3 years ago, from the bulbs! Happy Spring Breaking!
Erin B. 6th Grade CVA
This is a trail by a river that I thought was perfect for the spring breaking theme, because every where I looked were little leaves unfurling, and sprouts just reaching the earth's surface for the first time. Moss hung from every tree from last spring, making the trail seem like a fantasy land. You felt like at any moment, a fairy or troll could walk out of the forest, and you wouldn't be surprised!
Daniel C. 12th Grade LAVCA
This photo is of a slug I found in my garden, which I shot while it was on a plant. Slugs show up very often around this time of the year in Louisiana, and I thought the vibrant colors of the flower in the background would be perfect for the theme of spring!

Josephine H. 8th Grade, ALVA
This is my dog, Bellatrix. We adopted her on December 5th, 2020, one month after my dog Teddy passed away. Teddy was my best friend and I did not want to get another dog. I was terrified that the same thing would happen: they would get sick and pass away. My family and I had been to several meet and greets, but I was still reluctant. One day, we met a little black lab named Meadow (now Bellatrix), and I fell in love. I love her little wet nose and floppy noodle ears. I'm so thankful to have her in my life, which pushed me to love again. The shelter Bellatrix came from is a non-profit, and they are strictly funded by financial donations and fundraisers. They receive no local, state, or federal funding. If I win this contest, I will use all the money to buy supplies for the shelter.
Hailey L. 9th Grade, WAVA
This is Belmo, he is a corgi. He was born in Kansas and flew here when he was a baby, he was named after a Pro Bowler. One day we thought how funny it would be to take a photo of him with a bowling ball on the lanes, just like Belmo the bowler. It turned out adorable and I love him so much.

Kayleen M. 2nd Grade TNVA
This picture was taken in December. Kayleen and I were walking around taking pictures of the new fallen snow. When she saw the tree covered in snow with the swing she was so amazed by it she wanted a picture.
Jennsen R. 4th Grade CASC
I was visiting Iowa and we went for a walk. I saw these berries on a tree and the snowflakes were sticking to it. I thought it was it pretty. I call it Snow Berries.
Chesleigh G. 7th Grade ARVA
My photo was inspired by our Ford F-350 dually farm truck. I am a beginner, but I am driven to show the world what farm life is like through photography. Even though this challenge is about winter, I still would like to incorporate my passion into it. I hope you enjoy my photo!
Madison W. 11th Grade CPA
I chose a photo of crab apple blossoms covered in snow! I took this photo a little while ago, but I think it fits the theme well. I have a few more pictures of my neighbor's crab apple tree covered in snow but I chose this one because it had a focus and unlike my second choice; didn't have snow blocking the main focus. My winters are usually more focused on the snow in Colorado so a picture about both the snow and my favorite part of summer (flowers and thriving plants) seemed appropriate. I really like this picture hope you do too!

Shaivi K. 4th Grade LSOA
I Built something about summer
Tymberlyn T. 8th Grade IDVA
My challenge was to make a bee pollinator garden. I realized that bees drop pollen while going back to their hives. First, I tried putting flowers by the hives as shown in area 1. This was moderately efficient. Then, I put the flowers in the middle of the area, and it was much more efficient.
Aidan T. 6th Grade CPA
I did the Minecraft seasons challenge. I represented winter with a log cabin during the middle of the season with flurries of snow next to a forest. It was really fun terraforming everything over the season. ~ Aidan.T
Elisa S. 7th Grade Other

Olivia H. 8th Grade TVAH
I made a campsite
Violet O. 8th Grade CAVA
I did the Indigenous Stories theme. I have some simple yet well-built huts a nice little campfire. There are three horses near the huts so people can ride them. the people have a large crop field that is healthy. they have animals for food, there are some sheep for wool, cows for milk and meat, chickens for eggs and meat, and pigs for meat. among all the other things, there is also a small pond, useful for fetching water or to fish in. you can also washcloth with the freshwater it has. the tree that surrounds the village provide shelter and keep the strong winds from messing with the crops and blowing stuff over. the people who live in the village have long, happy lives, with cozy homes and plenty of food, what more could you ask for.
Audrey B. 11th Grade LAVCA
I thought about doing the tree house in a spruce forest but then i remembered i had a really nice Savannah mountain that could work better.

Kindergarten Winner: Isha K.
“For me, an adventure would be diving under water and seeing cool sharks and colorful fish and even a narwhal. I would also like to explore sea anemone and coral reef.”
Michaela B. 1st Grade LSOA
“Rainbow space adventure with me and my dog bullet in!”
Noah H. 2nd Grade OHVA
“This is a Gila Monster that I made out of modeling clay for an art project. It took almost a week for it to dry so that I could paint it. I love Gila Monsters and always go see the one at our zoo. I painted him these colors because they are my favorite colors. I also made him a tree to sit on.”
Josiah S. 3rd Grade FLCCA
“Join me to an epic Galactic Adventure, Racing to Jupiter where a brave K12 kid (me) dares to go where no kid has ever been before... K12 struggles, but wins by using the Epic Powers of ART! Watch now in Art Galleries near you!”
Ana P. 4th Grade TVAH
“I was inspired to paint a guardian angel.”
Jessica H. 5th Grade TVAH
“This is a drawing of a mother tiger and her cubs. This is the first time I have drawn tigers, but I have a good amount of experience with drawing animals in general. I used copic markers to color the tigers. For the ink, I used Pigma Micron pens.”
Rio D. 6th Grade NVVA
“This drawing was special to me because It was the first time I covered the whole page, and for the Goku it was the first time I used shadows and was made with colored pencils.”
Zamirah W. 7th Grade WAVA
“Adventure at the beach.”
Arianna B. 8th Grade TOPS
“Don't wait for adventure....adventures are waiting for you.”
Keira M. 9th Grade NMDCA
"My painting is about a young girl on an education adventure away from her home. She often talks with her grandma for encouragement. When she completes college in a big city, she returns home with her daughter to share her achievements with her grandma."
Olivia G. 10th Grade NCVA
“The theme of adventure made me think of what an individual's interpretation of adventure is. For me, I find the greatest amount of wonder through art, so I decided to make that the inspiration for the picture.”
Maria C. 11th Grade MVCA
“The theme is Artistic Adventure. My interpretation was a daydream, as daydreams are the peak of my adventures in my small town. In my artwork in the background, I created two worlds, reality and the daydream. In the center foreground is me, and these are my daydreams currently being visualized. For a sense of unity, the foreground continues from each edge of the page. The style has notes of impressionism.”
Jayden C. 12th Grade IAVA
