Elementary, middle and high school students are invited to submit original artwork for the cover of GCISD’s official holiday greeting card. Three student designs --- one from the elementary, middle and high school levels --- will be selected and sent out on behalf of Superintendent Dr. Robin Ryan and the GCISD Board of Trustees. Cards are sent to community leaders, area businesses, organizations and other school districts.
The three final designs for the cover will be selected by a group of district employees and the superintendent on the basis of originality, theme, use of color and overall design.
The three students whose works are selected for the GCISD Holiday Greeting Card each will receive a $25 gift card to Target and recognition at the Dec. 17 Board of Trustees meeting. The selected artwork will be featured on the district’s website and in other publicity about the contest.
